Club NME at Sheffield Plug, Mon 06 Feb
Boy Kill Boy are certainly easy on the eye, dressed in suits and with all the icy cool you'd expect, but when the music fails to please all of that is meaningless»
Mogwai at Sheffield Plug, Fri 07 Apr
To describe the Mogwai experience in mere words is all but futile; they've all been said a thousand times before but still don't come close to conveying the power of their live show. They're like good drugs: they knock the shit out of you, but it's one hell of a ride.»
British Sea Power, Field Music at Sheffield Plug, Sat 27 May
If Dr Jekyll showed his face more often, British Sea Power could easily be one of the best bands in the country but as it is, they're just one of the most lovable.»
Giant Drag at Sheffield Plug, Tue 11 Jul
It's clear that Hardy is in cantankerous mood tonight. She informs us that her time of the month is fast approaching and warns the front row that they risk being "splattered with blood"»
Stoney, Neil McSweeney at Sheffield Plug, Sat 22 Jul
How on earth Mark Stoney's face isn't already plastered all over national music magazines is a mystery to me, but with the new record receiving some notable press plaudits that could change sooner rather than later. What's certain is that this young multi-instrumentalist oozes star appeal, and, for once, possesses enough talent to back up the bravado.»
The Gossip, Comanechi at Sheffield Plug, Mon 06 Nov
Few bands can boast a frontwoman who combines charisma with a show-stopping voice like hers. She doesn't just have a fantastic pair of lungs, though, she has range: from gospel-soul through punk yelping, straight out screaming and back again to sweet croon, there's nothing she can't handle tonight...»
Club NME at Sheffield Plug, Tue 05 Dec
I've heard a lot of melodic, urgent guitar bands this year, but few make me smile like this...»
Jarvis Cocker at Sheffield Plug, Fri 16 Feb
Jarvis Cocker. In Sheffield. For two nights only. This, folks, is a big deal for the people of South Yorkshire - or so you would have thought...»
Meat For A Dark Day at Sheffield Plug, Tue 18 Sep
Isn't it nice (and all too rare) to DiScover something that little bit different and good? The life of a music writer is far from an arduous one compared to, say, your average bin man's, but sheesh us scribes have to listen to a lot of dross to unearth those diamonds...»
Sons and Daughters at Sheffield Plug, Mon 26 Nov
Sons and Daughters: overlooked maybe, but certainly not under-appreciated. It might be dropping a bit late for Christmas, but, on this evidence, come early 2008 you'd be foolish not to unwrap This Gift»
Glasvegas at Sheffield Plug, Sat 26 Jan
Unpredictable to the last, Glasvegas end on a feedback heavy rendition of The Ronettes' 'Be My Baby', and initial beliefs about the band finally reach fruition: if ever Phil Spector were to produce an in-house shoegaze band, this is what it would sound like»
