The Concretes, Birmingham Academy 2, 5th April
Gigs // Jim // 10th April 2006
A small crowd in a small venue listen to eight swedish people make a lot of very nice noise. Plus their singer is really quite miserable, albeit in a sort of endearing way.
The Mighty Boosh Live at Warwick Arts Centre
Gigs // Nick // 15th March 2006
Wacky humour surrealists off the telly turn up to make jokes about being raped by rabbits and how to properly mime opening a door. Good fun all round.
The Rakes / White Rose Movement at Wolverhampton Wulfrun, Feb 2nd 2006
Gigs // James // 11th February 2006
Jim W goes an awful long way (well, across Birmingham) to see spiky guitar types The Rakes and his new favourite band White Rose Movement play at an old haunt.
Belle and Sebastian, Birmingham Academy, 26th January 2006
Gigs // Jim // 8th February 2006
Yeah, I meant to do this last week but got repeatedly waylaid by the bloody pub. Supposed Scottish indie-ponces wreak triumph at the academy much to my pleasant surprise. Ooh get me away I’m dying…

Gigs // Jim // 14th November 2005

Notification: MPE Band @ Moo Bar, Sunday Night (2nd October)
Gigs // Jim // 1st October 2005

Super Furry Animals at Birmingham Acadamy 20/09/2005
Gigs // Jim // 24th September 2005
Following on from the cracking album reviewed below, we popped over to check out the live stylings of the SFA at the venue that keeps the UK not quite a pint plastic cup industry in business.
Cropredy Festival - Revenge of the Hippy
Gigs // Nick // 21st August 2005
Nick cuts loose of the squares and heads enjoy the laid back vibes of the nearest available free-range, organic, folk festival. Have your beard, banjo and jazz cigarettes at the ready on arrival…
Doves at the Birmingham Academy
Gigs // Jim // 14th April 2005
Back to the academy again for the indie titans who are not nearly as miserable as I was expecting. Have you noticed how mobile phones have become the new lighters? Also congratulations to the Ramons.

Gigs // Jim // 21st February 2005
Are you out on Friday? Are you in the Leamington area? Do you want to hear a load of classic yet eclectic house music? This might be right up your alley…
