Live: Murder By Death – Dingwalls, London. 17th May 2013.

It is way too tempting to douse this review in whisky, hang it up across a hemp washing line, and blast it with buckshot whilst gargling engine grease as my eyes roll back in my head.
But that’s what Murder By Death do. By Andrew Vernon

Live: FOCUS Wales Festival, Wrexham. 24 – 27 April 2013

The dust is settling and the after shocks are still being felt….What has happened? Why is my head still all awhirl with psychotropic visions and random noise bursts.

Live: K-X-P, Lumerians & Girl Band at Corsica Studios, London. 1st May 2013

It’s a wonderful balmy evening in old London town; the winter finally appears to have sloped off in its soggy shoes and taken its frost-bitten arse away for a few months, so it seems like the only sensible thing to do is to go to my home away from home – Corsica Studios – for a night of rock cosmology with the mythic Lumerians and electro bandits K-X-P. By Ross Pike
