Swampstomper opened up with their garage punky tunes. It’s Landan Town Rock n Roll, sometimes a bit like The Babysetters, sometimes a bit like The Damned. It’s the singer’s birthday and he confessed “I’m Pissed”, but they’ve clearly tread the boards before and I couldn’t tell! Healthy Junkies are main support bringing their angst ridden […]
A Two-Fingered Salute to Safe Rock: Surviving Airbourne’s Camden Mutiny Rock music was never meant to be a polite dinner guest. It was born to kick the front door off its hinges, raid the drinks cabinet, and leave the front room carpet in an absolute state. Yet, somewhere down the line, a lot of modern […]
Titans of the O2: Alter Bridge, Daughtry, and Sevendust Reclaim the Throne! There is a specific, unmistakable kind of electricity that crackles through the damp London air when a lineup of hard rock veterans converges under one massive roof. Last Wednesday night, beneath the sweeping white canopy of the O2 Arena, the lingering March chill […]

It’s the last night of the UK leg of the Smith/Kotzen tour in the UK at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. Until the last two dates Kris Barras supported, but unfortunately he fell ill mid tour.

What a great night this was: a friendly informal atmosphere, killer songs, rockstar royalty, beautiful people, a child prodigy, the next best thing to Axl Rose, it had it all!!

So I’ve seen Justin Hawkins many times with The Darkness and seen shows on his YouTube channel, but never seen ‘Justin Hawkins Rides Again’ live and tonight it’s in the very posh surroundings of Cadogan Hall near Sloane Square. There’s a melange of photos and clips to start, covering Justin’s origins in The Darkness, mainly […]
Apparently John Corabi and friends had thought Glasgow was closer to London than it is and it’s an early start today of 6.45pm as on a Saturday there is an early curfew due to the night club. As such the band only just made the show and didn’t have time for a shower before! However, […]
Friends, colleagues, fans of Francis Rossi and press gathered in the gothic splendour of the Union Chapel taking advantage to wonderful acoustics to listen to Francis Rossi’s new solo album ‘The Accidental’.
