Subhumans + Girlfixer + Condition: Dead
Underworld
London, UK
Wednesday 11th August 2010
Although New Zealand’s Bad Town were listed on the poster and billing they don’t perform/show up/make the trip but the trio of bands kicked off early as all London gigs seem to.
Up first were Condition Dead, a four piece rough and ready punk rock band with Alex (Al Symers) formerly…

The Slackers + Gecko
Camden Jazz Cafe
London, UK
Tuesday 10th August 2010
I have been to lots and lots of London venues past and present but strangely never frequented Camdens famous Jazz Cafe and what better night to break my cherry with the always impressive Slackers and highly promising Gecko. I arrived at a fairly early hour and Gecko was…

Civet + Born To Lose + Mike TV + The Accelerators
Underworld
London, UK
Monday 9th August 2010
(Photos not available from actual show)
First up on what can mildly be described as an eclectic (or slightly misplaced grouping of bands on one bill) is Dutch based four piece, The Accelerators. Being a Monday night following the mighty Rebellion festival which saw the annual punk pilgrimage attracts thousands of…

Star Fucking Hipsters + The Filaments + Moral Dilemma
Underworld
London, UK
Wednesday 4th August 2010
The second night of Camden Carnage sees a slightly more raucous affair but the ska elements are still visible on the bill. Sadly I missed out on Moral Dilemma, the London local hardcore threesome have become far more visible on the touring scene in the past 18 months and been…

The Aggrolites + Jaya the Cat + The Skints
Dingwalls
London, UK
Tuesday 3rd August 2010
(all photos are not from the actual show)
The first night of the series of gigs under the title of ‘Camden Carnage’ took place at Dingwalls in Camden and a skanking, reggaefied fiesta was in store for all. With The Skints a late surprise addition to the bill, they took to…

The Bermondsey Joyriders
The 100 Club
London, UK
Friday July 9th
What do you get when you cross classic London 1977 punk with addictive power-chorded rock ‘n’ roll and a heavy sprinkling of Johnny Thunders? Something not far off The Bermonsdey Joyriders – the missing link between the 60s and the 70s. Gary Lammin (ex-Cock Sparrer guitarist) and Martin Stacey…

The Mattless Boys
The Good Ship
Kilburn High Road, UK
Saturday 26 June 2010
Among the many Old School Punk bands The Boys have always maintained a committed following not only in the UK, but throughout continental Europe and beyond. The Boys themselves have been influential and iconic since ’77 with bad luck (including even the timing of Elvis’ death…

Jesse Malin & The St. Marks Social + The Killing Floor + Allan Fox
Thursday 7th July 2010
Islington Academy
London, UK
I arrived early at the venue, not quite knowing what to expect. Prior to the emailer interview we did with Jesse earlier in the year in connection with his latest record “Live It To Life” being released, I hadn’t known much about Jesse Malin and I say that with…

Hot Water Music + Failsafe + Southport
Islington Academy
London, UK
Monday 21st June 2010
A humid balmy evening in London awaited the sold out crowd and return of (originally) Gainsville based punk rockers Hot Water Music. The bands history is well known to their legions of diehard fans (which include a plethora of other musicians and punk bands who tonight in the crowd…

Taqwacore at Meltdown- The Kominas +Al-Thawra + Fun-Da-Mental +Poetic Pilgrimage + Michael Muhammad Knight
Queen Elizabeth Hall – South Bank Centre
London, UK
Saturday 19 June 2010
For those not heading out to a field (or even just a park) for their musical festival experience, summer in London still offers up the annual Meltdown Festival. For those unfamiliar with the event, Meltdown is held within the sprawling concrete jungle that is the…

Wire
The Relentless Garage
London, UK
Tuesday 8th June 2010
It’s been a mighty long time since Wire last played a UK date, extensively toured, or played in London, as demonstrated by a muffled Irish(?) voice blurting out, “Stop playing concerts in Europe”, before bassist Graham Lewis politely replied, “What the fuck did you say?”, humorously imitating his…

Kunt & The Gang + MC Rohpypnol
Satan’s Hollow
Manchester,UK
Thursday 10th June 2010
As far as I was aware, tonight’s gig at Satan’s Hollow was to be one man YouTube sensation Kunt and The Gang, with no supports. But as we are waiting for him to take to the stage, we are instead introduced to MC Rohpypnol and Handsome Dan, two rappers backed…

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts
100 Club
London, UK
Monday 14th June 2010
When the announcement was made for Joan Jett and her accompanying Blackhearts to perform an intimate show at the iconic 100 Club in London, it was hardly unsurprising that the gig’s approximately 300 tickets sold out in a matter of minutes. For many it would be a rekindling of…

The Flatliners + Anti Vigilante + The Living Daylights
The Underworld
London, UK
Tuesday 8th June 2010
Canadian punk rockers The Flatliners are making a habit out of regularly returning to London, which is great news for fans of progressive yet spirited and quality punk rock! Thankfully the band also brings with it a new selection of UK based support bands on the Tuesday night, with…
