Bringing you all the Live Reviews that matter since 1998

THESE DAYS
19 August 2002 / The Roadhouse / Manchester
:: Interpol ::
Mancunia has the equivalent of The Lost Ark. A collection of emotional, inspirational, often doom laden and overwhelming musical exercises in brilliance. Capturing some of these elements almost 20 years later sounds compelling. But NYC ?

NO RELAPSE
14 August 2002 / The Barfly2 / Sheffield
:: Oceansize ::
If you're not prepared to let Oceansize's music take over, envelop and control you, then you won't get the point of it........or the purpose....or the effect....or the pleasure

COOL MUSIC IN A SAUNA
12 August 2002 / Night & Day / Manchester
:: Barfly :: Beachwood Sparks :: Stephen Fretwell ::
It’s hot in here tonight – but I’ve seen a band who have just caught fire - 100% proof, no frills

GENERATOR 'X'
06 August 2002 / The Roadhouse / Manchester
:: Lookin :: TVH-3 :: Audio Slaves :: Fake Ideal ::
This is the land of the 3 minute power punk song, fuelled by the American New Wave of the early 90's

TEENAGE RAMPAGE
05 August 2002 / The Roadhouse / Manchester
:: Moco :: Morning Star :: Kinesis :: CITY:LIVE ::
The relentless delivery and sheer excitement is just too significant to ignore. This is probably one of the most significant moments this year.
