King Adora at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 13 Dec
Teenage drama queens in feather boas and glittery fairy wings crammed inside the Electric Ballroom (home of the highly recommended Full Tilt night) to see their much-revered all-singing, all-dancing King Adora. Impossible to pigeonhole, because they are (quote DiS) 'far too punk to ever be Glam in the »
Seafood, Snow Patrol, The Rock Of Travolta, Jetplane Landing at Camden Electric Ballroom, Camden, Thu 16 May
It’s not everyday you hear of a gig fronting by four incredible bands, so you can all imagine the anticipation and stigma attached to such a night. As one comes to expect from the closing date of a lengthy tour, an intense, electrifying atmosphere hung diligently in the air. An atmosphere of joviality and expectation s»
Suede at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Tue 16 Jul
There aren’t many bands that can hold a candle up to Suede when they’re on a good night. And tonight they’re stonking. In the intimate surroundings of the Camden Electric Ballroom, blooding a new hungry lineup, Suede debut their new album over the course of a 2 hour gig – the longest Suede show in living memory »
OK Go at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 06 Mar
First impressions of OK Go: singer who looks like he’s just stepped out of a GAP advert, rest of band made up of geek rock ‘80s enthusiasts. And that’s probably exactly what they are. No secrets about it, we’re talking New Wave and we’re talking The Cars and Adam & The Ants and The Knack and ELO and bubble»
Small Victories, OK Go, The Webb Brothers at Camden Electric Ballroom, Camden, Wed 03 Sep
So, like, they say Camden’s not what it used to be. Is it still the bastion of homegrown talent it was in ye olde Britpop days? Well nah, there’re no Menswears getting signed after four gigs, and Suede and Blur have long since moved to newer, more inticing social pastures. Yet in place of the stifl»

Squarepusher at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 26 Oct
Sometimes it’s possible to stay for the duration of an entire musical performance – a brief toilet break aside – and not actually remember any of it come the hands-in-the-air, instruments on the floor conclusion. Well, instrument on this occasion, as Tom Jenkinson’s chosen weapon, a pair of laptops and some wee boxes of circuitry duly excepted, is his much-treasured bass guitar...»

Future Of The Left, Against Me! at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 01 Nov
Sod yer general notions of cool, this is simply about pure songwriting quality, and when these tunes course through your body it's natural to let your limbs jerk around. That's why so many people are starting to love FOTL»
Hot Chip at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 22 Nov
They begin by assaulting the crowd with pounding tribal percussion, and all the sweaty teenagers and crappy hipsters begin to forget who they are – and the fact that they’re not cool enough to be hipsters – losing themselves like true dweebs in the rhythm of Hot Chip’s music»
The Whitest Boy Alive at London Camden Electric Ballroom, Thu 07 Feb
You only hope that Erlend Øye’s muse doesn’t lead him away from The Whitest Boy Alive as quickly as it has others. Rarely able to stand in one sonic place for much time, he’d do well to dwell in this space longer»

Wolf Parade @ The Electric Ballroom, Camden, Dec. 1st

The Get Up Kids at Camden Electric Ballroom, Camden, Wed 19 Aug
After a spate of dodgy reunions over the last few years, news that The Get Up Kids were back together was not met with a raised eyebrow but a rush of joy and a relief that perhaps the world wasn’t so bad after all. »
Live Review: ...Trail of Dead @ Electric Ballroom
Tao of the Dead has been received, almost across the entirety of the critical spectrum, as the Texan band’s finest work since their 2002 major label debut – and on the evidence presented here tonight, where ‘Summer of All Dead Souls’ cracks and sparks with every mercury-bubbling Kelvin felt when they’re ploughing through ‘Relative Ways’, ‘Will You Smile Again?’ and ‘Caterwaul’, it’s hard to argue against the blanket opinion. »
