The Summer Experiment play Auntie Annies on Wednesday 27th August. Then disappear into the night. Never to be seen again.

They said it better than I could
What happens when a band is faced with its own end before it even gets off its feet? Would this knowledge change their plan of action? Could it change the [...]

Niceness isn’t found very often, as we all know but just last week I was offered, and subsequently given a ticket to the Radiohead concert at Malahide Castle, Dublin, by a friend who wasn’t able to go. That’s what I call niceness :)
The concert was great, definitely better than I expected. Unfortunately the security guy [...]

However, that doesn’t really matter. What is important is that each of [...]

That time of year once more. Lets ignore it.
Thankfully there is plenty going on in Belfast this evening to keep me occupied.
The Knights of the Round Table are holding their usual jam packed night of fun with music from Kitty and the Can Openers, Serpentine Smile and Autorun plus plenty of extras including light electronica, [...]

I haven’t seen the limelight as packed for a local band as it was on Thursday night. 360 325 paying punters. Although I did hear the turnout was similar at Kowalski/And So I watch You From Afar/Cutaways gig in December. The lineup this time around was A Plastic Rose, Panama Kings and Fighting With Wire.
