Live
The Breeders @ The Scala
“Cannonball!” heckles an anonymous face in The Scala crowd. The short, smiling figure of Kim Deal has yet to even pick up her guitar and yet the requests come. But while we were kept in prolonged agony, you needn’t be.
The Maccabees @ Water Rats Club
With a Lamacq endorsement ringing in their ears, Brighton five piece The Maccabees waste no time in setting their stall as a band to watch out for in 2006.
British Sea Power @ The Bristol Forum
Bringing their eccentrically endearing Wicker Man charm to the Forum, British Sea Power come as close to legal vandalism as you're likely to get.
The Roger Sisters @ The Garage
After the endless combinations of red and black lights flashing and endless smoke puffing from the stage left, there is a sudden stampede of the public from one side of the venue to the next.
The Woodin Shades @ The Water Rats
Britain's grunge-rock landscape has been smouldering for a good few years now, and there are still some hot embers in the fire.
The Pipettes @ Kilburn Luminaire
Tonight we half expect Danny Zuko to strut into The Luminaire; a gaggle of Pink Ladies in tow; order a shake and fries and await the arrival of Kenickie.
Roland Shanks @ 93 Feet East
Loud And Quiet are standing next to new found friend, Vicky, from free-magazine.co.uk. Our journo note pad has been pinched for Vicky to scribble down her thoughts on Roland Shanks.
The Streets @ V Festival
Tonight The Streets are loveable, cheeky thieves. “You haven’t gone to watch The Kaiser Chiefs then?” questions Mike Skinner.
We Are Scientists @ The Metro Club
Keith Murray, singer with true American disco punk trio, We Are Scientists, triumphantly scans the room, head aloft and a grins from ear to ear.
The Boy Least Likely To @ KCLSU
Hurry up summer the tunes are here, ready and waiting. If you’ve been to a Magic Numbers gig you’ll be familiar with the feeling - a sense of love in the room.
