Wed 9 May – Alkaline Trio - 15th Anniversary Tour (09.05.12) - CHANGE OF DATE

Passionate song writers, passionate guitarists, phenomenal two acts that opened for the classic rock band: Alkaline Trio. The Dear and The Departed were on first and then Dave Hause was on second. Finally Alkaline Trio finished the night epicly. LEGENDARY.

Thu 24 Nov – The Darkness

Probably one of the most spectacular gigs I've ever been to :)

Tue 17 May – Panic! At the Disco

Absolutely amazing. Those are the two words I would use to describe their performance, but I can't say the same for the supporting act who don't seem to exist on the internet of what I've found. That band was called Love Letters and they were just awful. Lead singer was mistaken to be a woman at first o_0

Anyways, I totally enjoyed every minute of Panic's amazing live enthusiastic and energetic performances. If you haven't seen them before, I highly recommend that you do! I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them again!

Sun 13 Mar – The Wombats

First band: Team Me. From Norway. Lively bunch. Voices were unique. Still new, yet to hit the mainstream. A good mix of instruments varying syth keyboards to drums and tambourines to guitars and a few others other instruments. I really like them already. They certainly get the crowd moving with their sensational beats and synths. Definitely worth seeing again. If you ever get a chance in he future. I would recommend them that's for sure.

Following band: Good Natured. She certainly has whacky hair aha :P anyways. She wasn't as good as the previous…

Mon 4 Apr – The Pigeon Detectives live at Norwich UEA

The Kabeedies
With their whacky moves and exotic tunes, they were certainly different from the other two later bands. Still new, still a catch, still a long way to go. Up tempo and good lively tunes.

Club Smith
A bit older, rockier and a all lads band. A four piece band based in York and Leeds. Appearing at Leeds and Reading Festivals on the BBC Introducing Stage and gigs across the UK and in Berlin. I wouldn't say they were as good as the previous band but still they've…

Tue 1 Mar – Darwin Deez

A review is a review. Just telling it as it is when I was there.

Rams’ Pocket Radio.

Well first things first - Bassist IS QUITE pretty. She definitely moved well. Good stage present. Lead singer is gay for sure (thanks to my friend for pointing that out). Piano songs were good but when he went on syth piano, they weren’t so good. The singer performed better when he just on the keyboard. When I said piano, I meant to say keyboard. Bad habits.

There was slight distortion in he middle of one of…

Tue 22 Feb – Example

Ria Ritchie,
Quite pretty. Talented. Topshop style. It was a good start to the gig. Something different. Something new.

Wretch 32,
Raps were good :)

Example.
Absolutely amazing. Would definitely see him again.

Fri 11 Feb – NME Awards Tour 2011

Let's start from the beginning, well The Vaccines reminded me of Nirvanna dress look, well with their hair anyways. The music is good, but slow at times. Need more beaty tunes I think.

Everything Everything were just great as I expected. They sound as great on CD as they do live.

Magnetic Man brought the mofo house down seriously. Raving mad. It was packed. It was amazing. The tunes were sweeeetttttt!

Finally Crystal Castles ended the night with some sick beats, what tops that off is that, Alice was injured and on…

Sun 13 Feb – We The Kings, VersaEmerge, I See Stars, All Forgotten

Well I will try and keep this short as I don't have time to write a big review.
All Forgotten are still new, they still need work. They were nothing special.

I See Stars were alright but they need some new tracks out like stat. They were good but not great.

VersaEmerge, I would say were pretty good. It's like Paramore meets Hey Monday or something.

We The Kings were just amazing. Yes moshing got out of hand in some parts but nevermind hey. It was being…

Wed 24 Nov – Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding's voice is quite unique. She's is beautiful and has an amazing voice. She is just as great on CD as she is live :) The support bands weren't that great. They were Bright Lights and Sunday Girl. I missed those as I was busy. She drummed madly. She played a bit of piano. She's is one amazing singer, guitarist and song writer. Most of the crowd was full of young-uns like 12-16 year olds. God. It was like the Kids In Glass Houses gig. Anyways I loved it. I met one of…
