A new section with shorter gig reviews and more photos.
The title for this section comes from a track on the Girls Against Boys album House of GVSB.
Back in 2021, in the midst of lockdown, Dutch band De Staat started to think differently. After six albums and a moderate level of success – helped by viral hit Witch Doctor in particular – attention turned to releasing songs attributed to colours as states of mind. Red for the dark side, yellow for the […]
A pretty intense thirty-six hours of travelling across the southeast – I covered well beyond 200 miles without ever really intending to – saw me finish my Saturday at the Cart & Horses in Maryland (Stratford), to catch the second gig by the reformed Killing Miranda.

It’s fair to say that since I first started going to Whitby in 2004, things have changed. The people running gigs at the Spa have changed (twice, now), the people coming to Whitby has continued to change, and remarkably some fringe events continue to thrive away from the limelight. There has been epic drama, on […]
For the last couple of years, one Saturday around this time of year has seen me head to Electrowerkz for the latest London edition of the BEAT:CANCER shows – and indeed take photos of the bands, and write about them too.
Nearly halfway through 2019, and the gigs keep on coming. After a week off (I was away in Greece), there were three shows back-to-back as we entered the second week of June. Two of those shows were relatively big, high-profile events – the return of Bikini Kill at Brixton on Monday, and then the return […]
About this time last year, I attended my first BEAT:CANCER show, which was something of a voyage of discovery in what felt like a parallel scene, with a good number of people I rarely saw at other shows I attended, and a number of artists that I’d never come across before.
“Local” bands in London are ten-a-penny, but finding ones I actually like, or want to listen to more than once, or go to see live, are rather rarer. Move into the nominally industrial/rock/metal sphere than I frequent, and the pool of available bands gets ever smaller.
This has been, and will continue to be, a very busy week. This was the third gig in as many days – a disappointing Ho99o9 show on Sunday night, that was so unengaging I left twenty minutes into their set, and then a much better Author & Punisher/Trepaneringsritualen show on Monday that left my teeth […]
It is rather remarkable, now I think about it, just how fast 3TEETH have risen in the industrial ranks. I only came across the band five years ago – their first appearance was on Tuesday Ten: 180 in early July 2013 – and I can thank my friends at I Die: You Die for tipping […]
My habit of writing lengthy gig reviews often means that I don’t have the time to do some shows that I attend justice, so, this new Click Click series will hopefully mean I get to write more about the gigs I attend.
