2008-10-13 19:46:11 by Seatwave in Backstage Pass
 
...music to select, it was disappointing and detrimental to the theme. Those lucky enough to be deemed as dancing like their lives depended on it were snapped busting their moves by the house photographers- fully kitted out in nuclear boiler suits (a nice touch) and bar staff were mostly styled for the event. I dressed up as Tony Montana and the...

ALBUM REVIEW: Squarepusher

2008-10-13 15:03:09 by Crowd Surfer in Backstage Pass
 
...music; to find an album so alive with enthusiasm and invention is particularly nice when it's from an artist with an already heavy back catalogue. The inspiration for the album came, according to the artist, from "a daydream about watching a crazy beautiful rock band play an ultra gig... I was left with an urgent sense of responsibility that...

SINGLE REVIEW: The King Blues

2008-10-13 14:53:39 by Crowd Surfer in Backstage Pass
 
...band; The King Blues. If you have no idea who The King Blues are or youve just heard whispers of their work then new single My Boulder is probably the best way of summing up what the Reggae-tinged Punk heads are all about. Following on from the raucous Lets Hang The Landlord, this is the second single to be released from forthcoming album...

GIG REVIEW: Concrete and Glass

2008-10-13 11:37:35 by Crowd Surfer in Backstage Pass
 
...music festival in Shoreditch, land of the arty-farty, and based on the same principle as (the slightly older fest) Camden Crawl, which requires you to skim your way through, from pub to pub, to see bands of your choice. Artwise, Thursday only allowed enough time to see intimate portraits of Icelandic minimalist Rocksters Sigur Ros at various...

LAST WEEK IN LONDON: Reunions and Tributes

2008-10-13 09:39:37 by Crowd Surfer in Backstage Pass
 
...music this week in this city. Its all rather band oriented this time around, beginning with that home of the heavy, the Monto Water Rats in Kings Cross. Josephine Oniyama I unfortunately only caught the last song from this lady, despite having arrived at the gig before 8pm; this is an occupational hazard with this venue. Accompanied by drums,...

GIG REVIEW: Emilíana Torrini

2008-10-10 14:22:09 by Crowd Surfer in Backstage Pass
