The Cure News

Following on from the band’s self titled album in 2004, the Cure are indeed almost finished their as-yet-untitled 13th album. Being such a precocious number for a precocious band, they have also plans to release four singles, one on the 13th of each month until the album comes out. The first single “The Only One” [...]

The Beginning Of Orwellian Britain. And How Mr Hicks Was Right All Along.

Holy Shit! Better start Vetting your DVD collection, the thought police have struck once again with the red-hot iron of unreason. Im talking about the new “Extreme Pornography Law.” This law will make the following illegal to posess:

Spreading the Necro-Plague.

Alright guys. We have a few developments on the site. The ongoing expansion of our listings has taken wings and split in two. From the very beginning, we’ve always had a Gigs Calendar and that served us well for quite a while, but now we’re trying to take flight and take it all much further. [...]

Emilie Autumn – Sheffield April 18th

A slightly late entry into the venue after a tour of the delights of an industrial town without industrial waste takes us somewhere in the midst of Sieben’s performance. A musician who gets as much as he can from his single instrument, the violin. Using an effects box of some kind he records several loops [...]

The Rise of the Squeeze Box.

Personally I love the use of odd instruments in music. I consider myself on some level to be a Glockenspiel fetishist even. in my fandom of the myriad worlds of rock I’ve noticed time and time again the cycles these odd instruments go through. You’ll hear one band use a mini organ and two months [...]

RGB. Really Good, Bitches.

Whilst on the brink of what could have been a disastrous weekend, but in fact actually turned out ok (like most things in life), your fellow Ox and GIR took the Mirthmobile to the @rena (at-rena?) on Friday night with a couple of sexy laydies and a man called Boot. Now, it’s been a while [...]

May, May, Oh MY!

And this is the day, a summer tinged friday pouring down bright beams of heat and entertainment for those who can stop themselves sizzling for an hour or two. Iron Man is now on general release at the cinema and is truly worth it. Ythe only spoiler I shall give is that a fire extinguisher [...]

Album review “Keep Telling Me It’s Alright”, by Ashes Divide

Ashes Divide is the new release by ex-APC guitarist and all round nice guy Billy Howerdel. This album was released on April 8th and it has been kept rather quiet over the airwaves in the UK. Let’s face it, A Perfect Circle were good for 2 reasons, one of them was Billy’s musicianship, the other [...]

The Agnostic Gospel

Ok, i class myself as a “hopeful agnostic.” This is somewhat a downgrading from being the good little God-fearing whipper snapper I used to be as a child. This is a brief account of the metamorphosis in an attempt to unravel the mystery of my faith, or lack of it, and my subsequent search [...]
