Awolnation // The Waterfront - 31/05/2014

Monday, June 2nd 2014

It’s a warm Saturday night at The Waterfront, and from the offset, everyone here seems to be buzzing. Headliners tonight, LA’s own, Awolnation seem like the perfect band to start off the Saturday antics.

Thumpers, Cut Ribbons & Mega Emotion // Epic, 31.05.14

Why such a small turn out for such a great show?

S. Carey // Norwich Arts Centre, 21.05.14

Thursday, May 22nd 2014

The music is amazing; at times whisper-soft and delicate, building to tribal double drums...

Clutch // The Waterfront - 02.05.14

Wednesday, May 14th 2014

Often lazily tagged as a stoner rock band, it’s fair to say in 2014 they are simply a great rock ‘n’ roll band.

Barrence Whitfield & The Savages // Norwich Arts Centre, 01.05.14

Wednesday, May 14th 2014

'I’m Sad About It' and 'Hangman’s Token' were sensational – ass kicking, hell raising, down ‘n’ dirty stuff.

Ben Watt + Bernard Butler // Norwich Arts Centre, 23.03.14

Wednesday, May 14th 2014

The man behind Tracy Thorn’s delectable vocals, whilst not the greatest vocalist that you will ever hear, has once again written a very charming album.

Monday, May 12th 2014

De La Soul Live Seaside Spectacular!

Patent Pending // The Waterfront, 29.04.14

Thursday, May 1st 2014

“The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief” serves itself perfectly as a point of view for this review, since the entire evening can be summarised by the three subjects in the song’s title.

New Model Army // The Waterfront, 27.04.2014

Wednesday, April 30th 2014

The old dogs teach the young pups a lesson.

Tired but mostly happy.

Horace Andy // Norwich Arts Centre, 18.04.14

Monday, April 28th 2014

Like many of the older reggae artists Horace’s voice sounded absolutely perfect – sweet, delicate and soulful.

Alkaline Trio // The Waterfront 16.04.14

Tuesday, April 22nd 2014

To some ‘emo’ may be a dirty word, but not to these guys. After celebrating fifteen years together in 2011, Alkaline Trio returned to The Waterfront to an almost sold out show.

Walk Off The Earth // The Nick Rayns LCR, UEA - 04.04.2014

Wednesday, April 16th 2014

They brought their whole bag of tricks; lights, confetti canons, giant balloons falling from the rafters, smoke canons...

Stiff Little Fingers // The Waterfront - 26.03.14

Monday, April 14th 2014

Jake explained featured lyrics written in 1983 after a night on the town with Phil Lynott! Oh to have been a fly on the wall that night…

The Toy Hearts // Arts Centre 08.03.14

Tuesday, March 18th 2014

What I mistakenly took for rockabilly gals jumping on a bandwagon, turned out to be dedicated musicians with history in both types of music. Country and Western.

Bombay Bicycle Club // UEA - 09.03.14

Thursday, March 13th 2014

If you ignore the faux fervour, the frequent live line-up changes and the nagging feeling that many songs sounded uncannily similar, Bombay Bicycle Club put on a hell of a show that had me utterly enthralled for the best part of an hour.

Kerrang Tour 2014 ft. Limp Bizkit - UEA, 17.02.14

Tuesday, March 4th 2014

If you fall into the category of being on the cusp of puberty or not quite being a fully fledged adult as the previous Millennium, you’ll remember the L.I.M.P Bizkit.

Pony Up Launch Party // NAC - 01.02.2014

Sunday, February 2nd 2014

From Twee Off, here's Pony Up. Five acts for three quid. Bargain.

What would numerologists make of wombat wombat's combined 13th birthday and Christmas celebration falling on the final Friday 13th of 2013? Luck, fate or just one of those things? Who knows, this was a great night.

Imelda May at Bo Nanafana // OPEN 16.11.13

Monday, November 25th 2013

Imelda May was the main attraction at November's Bo Nanafana, and the Fine City's biggest swing night did not let her down - the Queen of rockabilly had top billing at Open for the hottest (vintage) ticket in town.
