A handful of people collect around a dim stage; it’s early, a Wednesday night, and people sip their drinks nonchalantly. Maya Yianni fits effortlessly into the crowd, seemingly inviting them up on stage with her as she steps up, casually and without nerves, chatting into the microphone with as much ease as if she was standing right […]
Hey, do you hear that? That feel-good beat working its sweet, funky way towards you down the street? It’s the sound that The Eleven 37s are coming . They are dancing their way towards Proud Camden right now, spreading the funky love along the way. Their estimated time of arrival is February 28th at […]
‘Don’t think I won’t do it. I will come out there and get you dancing.’ The audience looks slightly dumbfounded at this proclamation coming from the Eleven 37’s stage. ‘I’ve got a megaphone and I am prepared to use it.’
Though unsure of a how a megaphone would have assisted Jamie Topp, lead vocalist of the band, with this particular challenge, the determination […]
I have a soft spot in my heart for girl bands; maybe because there’s still that eight-year-old inside of me who dreamed about a quick future in the music world, pulling some raging frontman shapes in front of the bedroom mirror while singing the Spice Girls. And yet it’s really hard to find a girl band who I genuinely […]
The essential motive behind Good Old War’s music appears to be simple. ‘We wanted to make people feel good,’ Said Keith Goodwin, one of the trio of Tim Arnold and Dan Schwartz who are together Good,Old, and War. And listening to any Good Old War song, that is exactly how I feel. Good. The good varies; […]
I love Circa Survive. When I saw their London tour date added, I got that nervous feeling of excitement in my stomach that I always get when a band I completely and genuinely admire announces they are coming to my part of town (or at least a section of town reachable by bus or train rather than the pricey plane option). […]
Some people just can’t stay away. Circa Survive are returning to the UK with four dates, starting in London on the 15th, and then heading to Leeds, Oxford, and Nottingham. And their good friends Good Old War are also heading to the UK with a three night London stint at the end of September. This is […]
When I first picked up Samuel Powell’s debut CD, I had no expectations. As a nineteen year old from Cornwall with some impressively tamed facial hair, I thought the EP would be a couple of acoustic songs about girls, maybe with a few lalas and perhaps even a double clap interlude thrown in. But, hey, I thought, it might be catchy.
However, by […]
Concert, as a word, stands for harmony, accord, and connection. It stands for people coming together, for a music that can be sung as one. Times have changed since this word came into use, but semantics remain consistent. A great concert is one where there is a great connection, and when the concert in question is headlined by Good […]
I have never been in a show quite so packed. Packed to the point where freedom of movement is a rare luxury, and bruises and beatings become so commonplace by the third song that even the hardest hit is harmless. In any other show, claustrophobia would have signaled its triumphant return, triggered by the mass of sweat-soaked […]
