Live review of MGMT’s gig in Brighton on May 20th 2008 with photos and a video of a full length concert by the band. A good performance in Brighton, spoiled somewhat by a poor venue, an aggressive crowd and a dreadful support.

A review of day one of Brighton’s Great Escape festival. Photos, and reviews of amongst others Bon Iver, Okkervil River and Nathan ‘Flutebox’ Lee. A very busy and tiring night, but one of the best in a long time.

A review of the Rock Bar night at Belushi’s run by Snake in the Grass. 2 local musicians establishing a place for local rock bands to play, and somewhere for fans to see music without spending too much on the door or at the bar.

Live review of Kimya Dawson who played Brighton in May 2008. One half of the Moldy Peaches and heavily featured on the Juno soundtrack, this sold out gig at The Duke of Yorks proved this artist was worth getting excited about.

Live review of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Hammersmith Apollo in May 2008 with photos and video footage. Hove resident Nick played one of his rare UK dates this month…”This is clearly one of the best live bands around, perhaps this just wasn’t the best tour to see them for the first time”.
Friday, May 9th, 2008
A gig review of Late of the Pier, electro teenage sensations who played the Brighton Barfly when the Levis Ones to Watch tour came to town. Not as good live as they are on record, but if you like MGMT, Metronomy or Hadouken! and 80′s synths you’ll find this band interesting. Videos, photos and more info on the band follow.
