Bringing you all the Live Reviews that matter since 1998
THE LAST CHAPTER
29 December 2009 / Tiger Lounge / Manchester
:: The Black Knights :: Lux Decorus :: Brown Brogues :: Kid Voodoo ::
After several years of putting on your new favourite
bands before you'd heard of them and sending us
press releases with lines like "Stagnant crop of
base and tender, gender the f of hallowed and
Ovaltine aberrations" FictionNonFiction bows out.
BOWING OUT DISGRACEFULLY
11 December 2009 / The Well (formerly Joseph's Well) / Leeds
:: International Trust :: The Hydropaths :: Instant Species :: The Swindells ::

THE LONELINESS OF A LONG DISTANCE GIG PROMOTER
04 December 2009 / The Castle / Oldham
:: Victorian Dad :: Drink And Drive ::

FIZZY POP PARTY
04 December 2009 / Academy 2 / Manchester
:: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart :: The Depreciation Guild :: The Heartbreaks ::
It's worth remembering the 80s wasn't all overcoated
angst and synthpop. Odd that it takes a bunch of New
Yorkers to remind us how great good old-fashioned
sunshine indie-pop could be...
BLACKPOOL ROCKS AGAIN
03 December 2009 / Moho / Manchester
:: The Membranes ::
Someone's hammering at what looks like a milk churn,
but even this can't distract attention from the
human tornado at the front:
