@PlanetMosh reviews .@OverkillBand ‘s first ever live show in Ireland. They say that good things come to those who wait, which must mean that Ireland’s thrash heads are among the best rewarded as well as the most patient on the planet of mosh, as they had waited more than 30 …

Many people think that the life of a music journalist is a glamorous – jetting all over the world, interviewing ‘rock stars’ in exotic locations while sipping weirdly coloured cocktails… and for a select few it is like that (not least in their imaginations!). But, for the majority of hacks …
Read More »Grand Magus – Voodoo Lounge, Dublin – 13/03/2014
It’s amazing the difference half an hour can make. One disadvantage for those of us living in Belfast and wishing to attend gigs down the motorway in Dublin is the infrequency of late night return coach services from the Irish capital to that north of the border. With the last …

@Planetmosh reviews @Graveltones, @thecadillac3 and @BuffaloSummerUK live at The Garage, London. After a delightfully eventful weekend I was more in need of sleep (sad I know) than a night of bands. However having seen The Graveltones previously at The Underworld I suddenly found that had much more energy than I thought. …

First up were Norwegian Black Metal band Svarttjern who got this night of black metal off to a great start. The very early start (the band were on stage at 5.30 – 90 minutes before doors open for most gigs) on a weeknight meant the audience was smaller than they …

First up was Mishkin Fitzgerald, who normally performs with her band, Bird eats baby, but tonight she’s performing solo. Sat at a keyboard she sings and plays keyboards. It’s a simple but effective performance and she sounds great. For me the highlight of her set was her cover of the …
