Poetry In Motion

Poetry In Motion

By Kaptin on May 23, 2010

It’s a funny old game poetry, seems that most of the time I see it live the only emotions it instigates is hardcore apathy or the urge to physically hurt said poet severely with their own pen. However there are a few out there who truly touch deeply into just the right emotions, Kate Tempest, [...]

No Sweat/Heartbreaker present: LITTLE COMETS

No Sweat/Heartbreaker present: LITTLE COMETS

By Gem - No Sweat on March 19, 2010

Little Comets have been ‘introduced’ by Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, who likens them to a cheekier British version of Vampire Weekend. How have they earned this cheeky reputation? By playing guerrilla gigs at camp sites, call centres, beaches, university lecture theatres, on trams and in the bakery aisle of Newcastle’s Marks & Spencer. That’s how! [...]

DIG with Voice Of The Seven Thunders

DIG with Voice Of The Seven Thunders

By carlrylatt on February 9, 2010

YES! A most welcome return for one of our favourite artists. Rick ‘Voice Of The Seven Woods’ Tomlinson is back with a new project ‘Voice Of The Seven Thunders’. As the new moniker implies, this is a more intense, more fuzzed out and LOUDER beast altogether. When I was booking shows under the banner of ‘Forecast’ (remember that?) we had Rick come play with us 4 times and probably, out of the whole time Forecast was alive those 4 shows rate as my favourite 4 shows we did. Honestly can’t recommend enough that you come to this as his live shows are absolutely encapsulating

On to pastures new, this installment of DIG! will feature the awesome Wolf People. Yes I know it’s January, you’re probably depressed, skint and possibly imposing some detox diet or abstaining from alchohol but if you are going to have one relapse this month then I think you should make it this one.
