Salif Keita – Live Review
direct lender payday loans

Salif Keita | Royal Festival Hall | 5 March 2013. Salif Keita wasted no time in bringing out his exhibitionist side – dropping to his knees within the first minute on stage, exalting in the moment. With an exuberant persona, perhaps only matched by his raspy, formidable voice, Keita came clothed completely in white, save...

Peace – Live Review

Peace | The Lexington | 30th October 2012 Adorning the front cover of a recent NME issue was a retrospective gaze at the decade that has passed since The Libertines’ ‘Up The Bracket’ was released. It was supplemented with an album of cover tracks; the first of which was provided by Peace and their fuzzy, wah-wah...

Bloc Festival – Preview
direct lender payday loans

Reflecting on the great music festivals that we have seen in our time, rarely do they lack an exceptional factor; the ambition of Glastonbury, the values of Woodstock, to the brilliant locations of Melt! (an ex-metal refinery works) and Exit (organised by students against Milošević within the breathtaking Petrovaradin fortress). This is the year that...
Belly Kids

Belly Kids
direct lender payday loans

Belly Kids – records, books and ill-formed prose. Their given byline is too reductive, when each creation is so brilliantly unique. What Belly Kids do is to help realise our most primal or juvenile desires, our moments of ingenuity that never normally venture beyond a friendship group, or a poorly-lit conversation. Belly Kids are a...

Breakfast at Sulimay’s
direct lender payday loans

The opening credits of Breakfast at Sulimay’s have a nauseating, sort of dizzying effect on me. The pale colour-palette is like a rainbow drained of all its blood, while the jingle has a worryingly short lifespan. It provides a veritable timestamp of lo-fi editing, symptomatic of nineties programming, and yet it makes complete sense. Within...

Gold Panda: The Kollektivnye Interview
direct lender payday loans

At the age of 31 years old, you can say that this man has lived, yet at the same time he fears living, or at least realises the extent of his existence. Gold Panda projects a demeanour instilled with soft modesty and brutal candidness, but it serves to conceal an inner discord, a pacing discontent....

Lis Rhodes: Dissonance and Disturbance | ICA | 25th January – 25th March 2012 Not for the first time has Lis Rhodes found her work washed upon the shores of the Institute of Contemporary Art, however, the previous exhibition was back in 1975; a year when Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of the Conservative Party,...

Still Corners – Live Review

Still Corners | Cargo, London | February 9th 2012 Kahlil Gibran once suggested, ‘Yesterday is but today’s memory, tomorrow is today’s dream’. It would be simple to cast such a comment aside as semantic romanticism, but the notion appears to have a striking prescience toward the contemporary state of indie music. A homogenising pastiche of...

Toy – Live Review

Toy | The Shacklewell Arms | February 1st 2012 Like a piano spontaneously falling from the sky, here we have Toy; band of the day, week, or year depending on who you listen to. I would argue that their name is not to counteract the powers of google as observed within the Witch House genre,...

The Forgetting of Proper Names
direct lender payday loans

  The title of Calvert 22’s most recent exhibition is a tilt of the hat to Freud’s suggestion that forgetfulness may not only be a fault of the memory, but a form of false recollection too; an intended psychoanalytic repression. What the triplet of Polish débutantes in London (Wojciech Bąkowski, Anna Molska, Agnieszka Polska) have...

… Secret Cinema

With a snowballing irony, the tag-line of Secret Cinema is ‘Whisper only amongst yourselves. Keep the motion. Tell no one’. At the time of writing, they have over 100,000 fans on Facebook. For those of you that have been successfully kept out; Secret Cinema is an immersive cinematic concept that has surfaced in primarily London...

Jeffrey Lewis: The Kollektivnye Interview
direct lender payday loans

  Ah Jeffrey Lewis, he’s the antithesis of a ‘star’, more like a moon, a satellite, earnestly placed in the corner of our universe. People have been said to be talking to him at gigs, not realising who he is, until he apologetically interrupts and clambers on-stage to play his set. A testament to his...
