Deftones, Lostprophets at London Kentish Town Forum, Sun 24 Jun
A band recently selling out arenas twice over all over the UK is playing The Forum. The show was announced mere days prior to the event and so the vast majority of the tickets were sold out to true fans who had heard through word of mouth very, very quickly. The audience would not be diluted by fans of the sup»
Super Furry Animals, DJ Vadim, Killa Kela at London Kentish Town Forum, Sat 30 Jun
Accoustic Gig: Heavenly Social Club: 1.30pm It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. This was to get hold of a vintage bingo machine, have a board up numbered with SFA's entire backcatalog, and whichever number came up, the song was played. In reality Gruff Rhys is sat on a stool in a packe»
Teflon Monkey at London Kentish Town Forum, Sat 30 Jun
The Forum started to fill up with Furryheads, and a bewildered young man came to the stage with his acoustic guitar in hand and sat down on a stool. His name was Teflon Monkey aka Rhodri Viney, a Bargoed boy who plays lush folk music, in a style unlike no other in the 00’s. He introduced himself to the audience and swi»
The Bluetones at London Kentish Town Forum, Wed 06 Mar
The bluetones…you either love em…or you don’t!! Thankfully enough of us do to keep them in gigs and singles. The bluetones are one of those ‘working’ bands, the type that don’t get the press attention but they’ve got a following. Tonight at the Forum, that following, is out in full force; ranging from the»
Jane's Addiction at London Kentish Town Forum, Mon 19 Aug
I've never seen anything like this. The house lights are up. It's past curfew. But the crowd just won't leave. Jane’s Addiction receive a standing ovation that lasts for ten minutes before the band finally defer to public opinion and play yet another encore. It's a hugely anticipated show. Jane's Addicti»
Coldplay at London Kentish Town Forum, Thu 29 Aug
This had better be fucking worth it. I won't disclose how much I paid a man in a light brown coat outside the station for a ticket for this gig. But it was a lot of money. I decided to come this gig on a whim. In the past, I've fucking despised Coldplay and their whimsical, toe tapping sub-NAM bilge. To be frank,»
Fugazi at London Kentish Town Forum, Mon 04 Nov
DiS would not be satisfied bringing you a one-sided report on what is arguably one the world's most influential punk bands ever. So we got you three... That Fugazi manage to make the cavernous (read: soulless) Academy venue seem intimate speaks volumes. Watching ‘Furniture’, released only la»
Lemon Jelly at London Kentish Town Forum, Thu 06 Mar
..But first... =RaZ= @ Manchester Academy [28/02/03] Psychedelia: it’s the word that goes with sensemelia. But is it the accompaniment or the replacement? It’s a refreshing sight, at a university v»
The Melvins at London Kentish Town Forum, Fri 28 Nov
Ok so this wasn’t strictly a Melvins show. Providing the soundtrack to a trilogy of short films by acclaimed artist and film-maker Cameron Jamie this was less a Melvins performance than a unique, intimate screening of Jamie’s work, brought to life thanks to the Melvins’ dark glowering presence.»
Interpol, Bloc Party, The Silent League at London Kentish Town Forum, Sat 20 Nov
Potential album of the yearers Interpol and friends hit the stage for the first night of their UK tour. Excitement ensues, magic follows.»
Neurosis at London Kentish Town Forum, Sat 18 Dec
With a set that traverses the entire spectrum of their sound the whole experience is a melange of beauty and devastation, an emotive battlefield in which Neurosis are your guiding light.»
The Fall, John Cooper Clarke at London Kentish Town Forum, Fri 20 May
Mark E Smith wipes the blood from the huge gash a well-aimed can left on his forehead when it came sailing down from the balcony the second he appeared on stage. A faint smile creeps across his saggy face. Perhaps Mark E Smith doesn’t want you to like him. Or maybe the only way The Fall and their fans can express their love is to wound each other. It would figure.»
Sepultura, In Flames at London Kentish Town Forum, Wed 22 Mar
Tonight sees a joint headlining show from two of heavy metal’s trailblazers in Sepultura and In Flames. While the Brazilians married thrash metal and roots music to lay claim as one of the frontrunners of the 1990s nu-metal scene, the Swedes are much, much more current. If the young pretenders are to be taken seriously as contenders to either crown then first they must all prove themselves at least worthy as these behemoths.»
Yeah Yeah Yeahs at London Kentish Town Forum, Wed 17 May
Subbed, and picture added - cool wit' me. MD
Have you ever seen Karen O’s eyebrows? They’re normally guarded by an impenetrable ebony fringe, but I saw them the other day, indecently exposed on the cover of a magazine (along with the rest of her face), and I was shocked...»
The Black Keys, Blood Meridian at London Kentish Town Forum, Wed 04 Oct
The duo’s swaggering good-time set does feature a significant fault: they play for too long. Even when fan-favourites appear either side of cuts from the their long-player of this year, a sense of repetition and regurgitation bubbles up from lager-full bellies come the forty-minute mark...»
Optimo, Bonde Do Role, Diplo, Radioclit, Os Mutantes at Kentish Town Forum, Camden Town, Fri 27 Jul
In 1993 Kurt Cobain tried to convince Os Mutantes to reform for a one-off reunion show. They declined. Here, they do play, alongside Bonde do Role, Diplo and more...»
Modest Mouse at London Kentish Town Forum, Mon 03 Sep
To the Modest Mouse zealots (which there are surprisingly many… I think they all hide in sewers – not unlike the Ninja Turtles but without the mutagenic slime turning them into reptiles), tonight would have been a success if they’d turned up and farted a couple riffs...»
Sunn O))), Earth, Boris at London Kentish Town Forum, Mon 10 Dec
This post Portishead ATP show has long looked on paper potentially a front-runner for gig of the year. Three of the most visceral bands on the planet, together in one venue, with Boris and Sunn O))) not only playing a set each but also playing their mighty 2006 collaboration Altar live for the first – and possibly only – time»
Mudhoney at London Kentish Town Forum, Thu 31 Jul
Twenty years - it really is that long. But Mudhoney have aged well, their grunge-sparking punk as passionate today as it was in '88»
Sonic Youth, Hush Arbors at Kentish Town Forum, Camden Town, Fri 23 Oct
Sonic Youth have unequivocally earned the right to do whatever they want. Still, do they HAVE to be so resolutely fixated on their most recent material when playing live?»
