The blog’s industrious co-photographer made it as clear as the light of day that the last and only time he saw Omar Souleyman, at the Electronic Beats festival, was one time too many for him and he’s seen and heard this all at village weddings and wants none of it. And in many ways he…

Strange Pleasures: The Horrors @ Dürer Kert
It again crossed my mind to attempt an almost objective review, like it did with Interpol a few years back but then I dutifully gave up. There’s just no point in that- The Horrors have been one of my favourite bands, like, ever (insert teenage giggles and batting of eyelashes here) so I cannot be…
Space Travel on a Ukrainian Stone-Carrier: Public Service Broadcasting @ A38

This is primarily wonderful, and should be strongly encouraged, but also makes me wonder just what on Earth I…
All That Dancing Around: Triggerfinger @ A38
Triggerfinger’s latest A38 concert, promoting their most recent album, named, in an endearingly Triggerfingerish-grandiose way Colossus, was unequivocally introduced on the event page as one by the second best rock band in Belgium, since the first one will forever be dEUS (themselves regular A38 visitors). It is of course hard to argue with this statement,…

Occasionally, though, I surprise even…
