I did rather swear when this gig was announced as I realised it was the same night as Prong in London. Well you can’t be in two places at once and it was really no contest as I had never… Continue Reading →
Nope I am not faint hearted or easily offended and I can play cassettes. Well that’s a bonus as the result was that I had one of 40 limited tapes of this split C20 red speckled cassette with Skat Injector… Continue Reading →
Such is the multi-genre billing tonight, I expected a larger crowd than what actually turned up, but not withstanding a late showing of the openers Evil Invaders, the venue was set alight from their opening notes. There are bands that… Continue Reading →
It was a windy night in Camden. Inside the Black Heart, three bands were waiting to treat us to some black metal and other variations. It was dark inside, so much so that Alex on the merch stand had to… Continue Reading →
