The Dresden Dolls at London Madame Jo Jo's, Mon 20 Sep
On this, their first ever UK outing, Boston-based duo The Dresden Dolls justify every single piece of praise that's been heaped upon them thus far. Synchronise your watches - the hype starts here.»
Noisettes at London Madame Jo Jo's, Mon 16 Jan
..the structure, timing and effect of the songs are as devastating as the singer’s faultless voice, and the band give an utterly compelling visual and aural show. It’s easy to see why The Noisettes have been afforded the patronage of the likes of Bloc Party - they share the same sonic adventurousness, urgency and awareness of modern life.»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 14 Feb
Valentine’s Day is spent, for a large portion of us, in the arms of lovers. Tonight however, in London’s ubiquitous White Heat club, I’m waiting to be welcomed into the bosom of a somewhat different beast. Maybe not so much the embrace, more the world of the Norwegian noise-dream that is Serena Maneesh.»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 28 Feb
While the folksy, cardigan-wearing Collapse make hay not war with those members of the crowd willing to stop chatting for a few minutes, Semifinalists wait backstage, preparing to shatter the wholesome atmosphere with their gritty attack of post-pop-rock.»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 16 May
What I do know is that leaving the venue, up and down escalators on the Tube and now 13 hours later, I'm still singing the choruses and smiling at the melodies. Yours is a talent to be savoured, by yourselves and embraced, by the masses.»
Gay Against You at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 12 Dec
Glaswegian duo Gay Against You knock over Kevin Belchdom on their way to the 'stage'. This show is apparently their last 'til June 2007. Do we believe them? Nope. Unless they have exams and their mums won’t let them out...»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 23 Jan
Tonight is where commerce and artistry collide, as we are invited to the club’s very own spin-off record label bash. Only the brattiest, loudest bands around have made the cut...»
The Violets, Mirror! Mirror! at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 13 Feb
Within seconds of The Violets’ opener frontwoman Alex has already alienated half the in-crowd, leering over them half squat on the stage’s edge. She doesn’t have to open her mouth for poetry to pour from her panda eyes, nor move to command the stage...»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 19 Jun
Eyes aloof, banners aloft - "Repent! Repent!" - the quintet have the sober, priggish air of missionaries - Hollywood's claw-fingered man with a warning of random foreboding for lost travellers; a weathered ambassor...»
White Heat at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 03 Jul
Liars keep our necks bent back but never show us the stars; keeping us at ground level, wracked and fraught as they seem to be tonight. Blinded by the lights and distant, arms crossed over our chests, static at the peripheries...»
Twisted Charm, Ipso Facto, Chik Budo at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 31 Jul
Twisted Charm annoy me. On record, at least, their music - perhaps intentionally - riles; wheeling around like a leering drunk in a sober room and spiking up in hoots of mule sax that sound like party horns and feel like dead arms...»
White Heat 4th Birthday Party at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 07 Aug
With the evening's supporting acts perfroming to a sparsely populated floor, the fear briefly loomed that Mystery Jets, due to tak»
Black Lips, zZz, Cuckoo's Nest at London Madame Jo Jo's, Tue 04 Sep
Cole Alexander doesn't care about this at the moment, at all. As the set clatters closed he’s busy unzipping his jeans, guitar neck in the way 'til his trousers and boxers drop enough to let him fall out and...»
