The excellent Dream Nails have a new release as well as a release party to celebrate that release, and here comes a taste of that release, all that energy released once more. Tourist is already one of the stand-out songs from their beautifully energetic live set, and as we said before, you really need to see…
Eoin opened a solo show in London last night, a collection of paintings, pieces on canvas – a painter, definitely a painter, Eoin (pronounced ‘Owen’) is a very painterly painter who currently lives and works in his native Ireland. Yes he does paint on walls, yes he does paint on there on the streets, but he…
Forget that piece we ran a couple of days ago, the world’s best American band have cancelled that dates that were coming up this month, they’re not coming to your town, they won’t help you party down.. Damn, we were rather looking forward to those gigs… “Unfortunately, the EU/UK arm of White Reaper’s tour was…
Yowie are in town tomorrow, this is very important, the town being London, Yowie being one of the finest bands on this particular planet (no pressure on them to deliver their awkwardly rewarding musical goods tomorrow then). Tomorrow is of course Friday, the venue is in Hackney, and Yowie are over from the U.S on…
White Reaper, the world’s best American band, are heading this way, the dates are further down the page, we’ve covered the band from Louisville, Kentucky, quite a bit on these pages this year, and to repeat some words, they sound like they’re from L.A in 1979 and yes, they probably are the world’s best American band…
Oh look there was a whole disorganised rant here about the banality of words and not eating octopus and what is with all the tedious sloganeering and meaningless words on canvas everywhere. We walked for miles and miles (with computerised smiles) during the last week, miles and miles around the vastness of Freeze, over those…
Dog In The Snow, who’s that then? Or who are they? Is it he or is it she (or is it a or b…) Apparently Dog In The Snow is Brighton-based Helen Ganya Brown, and in a Bat For Lashes, She Makes War kind of way, Brighton-based Helen prefers to work under the name Dog in The…
Saturday, get up early, get back down to Regents Park before Frieze packs out, word is that the art fair has sold out today, back for more before it all gets too crowded, if you haven’t read it already (and you give a flip) then you probably need to read part one and Thursday’s impressions…
The week has been a busy one, it started in a rather fractured way with that rather underwhelming Sluice Biennial thing up in that bit of Hackney now overrun by designer labels, so so disappointing after all the positive engagement of Folkestone in the weeks before. Sluice kicked off the Frieze art week, Sluice was quickly…
Frieze is vast, we say it every year but Frieze really is stupidly vast, how on earth can anyone be expected to take all this in in just one day? And love it or hate it, it is an important event, that fact surely can’t be denied? Although the way some people go on…
Frieze week is upon us once more, a whole week of London art fairs and events topped by the giant Frieze Art Fair while a whole load of shows, openings, galleries and such jousting for our attention. We’ve already been left feeling underwhelmed by the disengagement of Sluice Biennial and their rather questionable (some might…
Unfinished business, back on the train, back on the 10.15 for another slice of Folkestone and some more Triennial exploring, for more Fringe exploring, more gallery and art space exploring, back to the seaside while the train company are still being reasonable about those usually crippling ticket prices. The Triennial and Folkestone were extensively explored last…
