This gig was different. Very different. After all, how many of us can say we’ve been to a gig where the set consisted of piles of vintage televisions showing old propaganda footage from World War Two? Where the band only interacted with its audience through a series of automated, Queen’s-English style announcements? And where samples from […]

Expectations for tonight’s show are high to say the least; the first date of BFW’s first UK headline tour in four years, and their first on UK soil since the release of their new album ‘Uprising’. Hand-picked local openers Doomed From Day One start off slowly, but really win over the crowd and make plenty of […]

I arrived for SEMSU’s Electro-Juice event a little early as I had been asked to set up a laptop in collaboration with Surge and SEMSU to record the entire show.

After her show tour of 102 concerts following the release of I am … Sasha Fierce in 2009, it would be fair to say that Beyoncé had set herself a bar so high that even she, ‘Queen Bey’ would find difficult to vault. Since then, fans had been holding their breaths for the announcement of […]
