Cat Power, James Yorkston, Montana Hi-Rise at London Bush Hall, Sun 05 May
The rise of Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, to the position of cult figure on the alterna-circuit has been made in moderate, incremental shifts, her raw early material, often produced in collaboration with members of Sonic Youth, gradually replaced in favour of one of the most minimal folk aesthetics in circulation today»
Story One at London Bush Hall, Wed 14 Sep
Tom Evans has a voice that embeds itself in your nervous system whether you want it to or not. Equal parts early 70s Rod Stewart and Marge Simpson, its roughened tones surround him with a sense of crushed innocence.»
Bill Wells, Jens Lekman, Richard Swift at London Bush Hall, Thu 16 Feb
Boys and girls sit opposite each other, forced face-to-face while candy-floss indie-pop is thrown into the room by two PA stacks standing down by the stage. Looking around the room then, at the chandeliers and sculpted walls, it seemed as if an old-money millionaire had decided to throw an impromptu school disco...»
Euros Childs at London Bush Hall, Sat 11 Mar
good good good good emmy the great was fantastic (as always), semifinalists were super (that guy seriously needs to use gel like in the advert) euros childs just reminded me of how much I used to love his voice in gorky's, also he made »
Bell Orchestre at London Bush Hall, Sat 25 Mar
As the brass sound starts to rise, the crowd goes quiet. It's a warm, full sound coming from all around the room, from multiple moving sources, hard to pin down, but then it suddenly starts coming from right behind me, and I turn to see a member of Bell Orchestre (dressed all in white and wearing several glowing lights) playing gentle, ringing notes on the French horn...»
Ben Kweller at London Bush Hall, Wed 19 Apr
Immersed in the glamour of the decadent Bush Hall, ornate and crowned with chandeliers dripping crystals, the last thing you expect is your wine to be served in a plastic cup; neither do you expect to be surrounded by people more interested in sending texts, or taking photos than concentrating on the wonderful carefree sounds of Mister Ben Kweller.»
Jamie T, The Nudes at London Bush Hall, Thu 29 Jun
There are no rewinds or replays tonight, and even through the soupy haze of Benson smoke and flashbacks, the mood of celebration and an earnest run through ‘Calm Down Dearest’, there is urgency and adventure and dare.»
Cortney Tidwell at London Bush Hall, Tue 11 Jul
As DiS skips into the night, we’re certain it’s only a matter of when rather that if for Tidwell, although a little restraint will go a long way to ensuring the success her wonderful songs – always balanced between delicateness and fury – deserve...»
Yo La Tengo at London Bush Hall, Tue 05 Sep
‘Season Of The Shark’ accurately summarises half of Yo La Tengo’s set this evening: the band – completed, of course, by James McNew on bass and keys and Kaplan’s wife Georgia Hubley on drums and keys – switch from serene passages of sweet indie-pop, a la the aforementioned Summer Sun LP highlight, to screaming squalls of intense guitar riffing that blindside the front row, leaving them slumped onto monitors, stage lights burning the back of their necks like newspaper lit by an unattended grill...»
Sparklehorse at London Bush Hall, Thu 28 Sep
Disappointing? Crushingly so. At least the new album is something to be positive about...»
Mystery Jets at London Bush Hall, Wed 25 Oct
Mystery Jets, Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush. 25th October 2006 It was about time I went to a gig with ease, The bush hall done exactl»
Bat For Lashes, Viking Moses! at London Bush Hall, Tue 31 Oct
Bush hall on All Hallows Night casts a striking glow inside, thanks to the abundance of mini-lanterns lining the edge of the stage»
AHAAH by Tim Murray
Balkan folk music: it’s a genre that’s been bandied about a lot in the last six months, but it’s pretty much all been linked to the relative success of Beirut. Unlike Zach Condon, however, his friends Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost from A Hawk And A Hacksaw journeyed to Eastern Europe before recording their latest album, The Way the Wind Blows...»
Emily Haines at London Bush Hall, Sat 02 Jun
“I hate quiet music, but this is okay, I guess.” Emily Haines cooes to her assembled fans seated in the humid Bush Hall on Sat»
Courtney Love at London Bush Hall, Mon 09 Jul
No one would question Courtney Love’s aptitude for rock stardom. The woman has had more lives than Keith Richards and, over her career, has out-partied and out-misbehaved any male pop icon you could care to mention. Thus, it seems like a small miracle that she’s here tonight, on her 43rd birthday no less, to play her first UK show in seven years...»
Elvis Perkins at Bush Hall, Hammersmith, Tue 06 Nov
Trombone-led new song ‘Doomsday’ is boisterous, as much a glorious finale as it is a promise that new material from Mr Perkins and his backing players is shaping up to be something very special indeed. Call them delicate at your peril»
Band of Horses at London Bush Hall, Thu 29 Nov
this was easily the best gig ive seen at bush hall and pretty much anywhere - his voice will cut you like a knife like a motherfuc»
The Brunettes, Shout Out Louds at London Bush Hall, Thu 10 Apr
I love The Brunettes, but right now they are overwhelmed. By the venue, perhaps, or their early support slot and its restrictive 30-minute duration. Whatever - point is they disappoint when they should excell»
Shearwater at London Bush Hall, Wed 17 Sep
Of all the venues they’ve played in the UK, the Bush Hall is the first that matches the dignity and intimacy of Shearwater’s records»
The Dodos at Bush Hall, Hammersmith, Thu 03 Sep
urgh, bit rubbish though probably salvagable»
