A lot to catch up on for September so far.
This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.

/Albums of the Week
13-Sep 2024 / The Jesus Lizard / Rack / Bandcamp
For their first album in twenty-six years, The Jesus Lizard’s noisy rock is a match for their early nineties mastery, and frankly has no business being this good.

A throwaway track poking fun at 90s Goth by Keef Baker and friends that is as good as some of source material…

/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).
If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
