As if there weren’t enough gigs to miss in a month, May also brings over 100 bands playing three multi-venue city festivals in Manchester and Salford. Starting with Sounds From The Other City this weekend and finishing with the Chorlton Arts Festival Weekender at the end with Future Everything in between. If all goes well I may even get to more than one of these. This month’s mixtape leans more to many of the other gigs across the month including tomorrow night’s highly recommended Richard James gig at The Castle (see yesterday’s post on his latest ...

With the release of their debut LP 'New Heaven' early 2011 followed by extensive US touring, last year was a big year for 1,2,3. Hitting the ground running, this year started with the release of their 'Dreamland Pt.1' EP and a string of tour dates with Yellow Ostrich, Milagres and Howler. 2012 promises to be yet another busy and exicting year for the band.

I'm obsessed with year end lists.  It's always exciting to sit down at the end of the year and rank your favorite records, share with your friends/readers, and also see what others deemed the best of the year.  One problem always arises: give it a few months into the new year and three-four records for the past year will pop up and make you wish you had given them proper due.  I've decided to put an end to this "list regret" and will be doing an annual piece called "I've Made A Huge Mistake" where ...

It's been overwhelming, annoying, calm, far out, mental, surreal and just goddam crazy to be honest. I also didn't see half the bands I wanted to, whether that was down to clashes, geography or just plain tiredness, I'm not sure. But I wanted to squeeze as much in as I could yesterday's final day and so I totally ...
