Music 'n' What Not

  Hey guys, quick message from me first (Leanne)! So I felt it was time to spice things up again and well I would like to introduce a Guest blogger to the blog! You may already have noticed the name floating around a bit already but here you go! Be nice and meet the lovely Kirsty! xo    My obsession with CHVRCHES started with Mother We Share. From then I listened to them all the time, every song being a favourite. So when I found last minute tickets to see them at the O2 Academy, one of the best local venues FOR ONLY £17, I couldn’t say no. Messaging Leanne begging her to come along, we booked them a week before the gig. I didn’t bother checking out who was supporting, I trusted they would be amazing if they were supporting my favourite band… So the day came around and I couldn’t focus on ANYTHING accept getting to the O2 on the evening!    Arriving an hour before doors, the queue was already down the road and around the corner, we were somewhere in the ...

   October 28th I and Kirsty (who will be doing some guest posts) took another trip to the O2 Academy in our local town to watch our boys in Beasts whilst they were on tour with Turbowolf and Loom.     Due to events before-hand causing travelling issues for us, we unfortunately only caught ten minutes of Loom's performance. They sounded good, everything was performed well that we saw and after checking them out on YouTube afterwards their music sounds great. BEASTS:    Beasts performance was something of professionalism. Their music is different to most artists in his scene, their style is somewhat old rock. We're not referring to old school rock like Kiss and ACDC but more the style you hear from Nirvana and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. It's got a slight grunge feel but is so much better.    Unfortunately during Beasts performance they had some technical difficulties that resulted in a fair few mishaps during the first few songs, their TM having ...

   One of the perks of having this one great friend of mine, is she's great for gigs. You wouldn't understand even if I did try to explain, so I'll leave a little mystery. This is another review of a gig I went to recently. Ghost Town headlined, Palisades were their on-tour support and a local band supported too. I'll be mentioning the music, the performance, and how the behaviour of a band can really add to the experience and give you faith in success.    On October 21st I went to my second gig in a week; which is crazy as I hadn't been to a gig in so long before hand, now it was one after the other! When I was first invited, I didn't realise who my friend was talking about, but then it clicked and I got VERY excited; Palisades! The gig was at the O2 Academy in our local area, and what a gig it was! The local support was on first but we arrived a little late and sadly didn't catch their set.     Ghost Town       I'm going to start ...
