Not Quite Music Journalism: March 2013

Not Quite Music Journalism. Saturday, 30 March 2013. Four Stones Deeper–Fibbers, 28/03/13. Sounded interesting. Their unusual guitar sound, more mellow than rock, and nice vocals from frontwoman Aimée were enough to make us wish we had heard more from them. It’s not often, if ever, that I try to give advice to musicians but I would definitely say that acting like The Kickstarts. And, I think, The Ramones with. Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio. And a rather weak version of James’. Sit Down –. By this t...

Not Quite Music Journalism. Thursday, 19 July 2012. Dream Of Apollo–Victoria Vaults, 17/07/12. Which he learned after seeing it performed on The Old Grey Whistle Test (I’m assuming on a repeat – he didn’t look old enough to have seen the original) and an unusually heartfelt and emotional version of. I Heard It Through The Grapevine. His own songs were steeped in real life experiences, with. Being inspired by a Swedish friend who “found religion and a girlfriend” and. She Wants To Get Away.

Not Quite Music Journalism: April 2012
http://imassey.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Not Quite Music Journalism. Friday, 27 April 2012. Again, I stress that the above is a general feeling on my part, with no researched evidence to back it up. Tonight, my faith in the local talent was reinforced. Was launched tonight with a gig at the Basement Bar featuring four of the bands from the album. My regular reader will, by now, have realised that I am a big fan of Boss Caine. Before being joined on stage by Vin North for the much more sombre. Left Hand Luke And Eleanor Louise. 8211; was more up...

Not Quite Music Journalism. Thursday, 27 December 2012. Hazzard County–Fulford Arms, 01/12/12. Stout Boots are a new band comprising of ex-Hazzards Chris Johnson (guitar and vocals), “country” Jon Benton (guitar and vocals) and Paddy Berry (double bass) along with ex-Mostly Autumn Angela Gordon (various wind instruments, accordion and vocals). There was an Irish feel to much of their set of covers, with. Whisky In The Jar, The Belle Of Belfast City, Sally MacLennane, Irish Rover. And a few jigs thrown in...

Not Quite Music Journalism. Thursday, 29 March 2012. Saturday Night Hair Of The Dog. OK, in hindsight, twenty quid may have been just slightly beyond justification for tonight’s gig. Originally, I would have had no problem paying it as the support band being advertised was Deborah Bonham. 8230; The Bowden And Williamson Band. Named after Mike and John respectively, with Brian Marston (bass) and Big Vern (drums) completing the line-up. Introducing. Jump Up On The Line. Were more blues-rock than out and ou...

Not Quite Music Journalism: February 2013
http://imassey.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Not Quite Music Journalism. Monday, 11 February 2013. Pine For Cedars–Debut EP. Are a relatively new York band, with just a handful of gigs under their belts so far (including two on the same day, in Leeds and York, back in November), yet they have already reached the final of one Battle of the Bands competition (and may have even won it if you are reading this at least a week after I wrote it…) and put together an impressive EP. The music itself almost defies genre. This is a nice debut with good produc...

Not Quite Music Journalism: September 2012
http://imassey.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Not Quite Music Journalism. Thursday, 20 September 2012. DeeExpus and Manning–The Duchess, 08/09/12. What’s my favourite type of music? That’s easy – prog-rock. OK, but what is prog-rock? Well, it’s…. errrm. King Of Number 33. Featured keyboards which were slightly reminiscent of Genesis while. The story of a Scottish Witch, and its thematic sequel. Which also managed to incorporate a more funky sound, while. Links to this post. Thursday, 13 September 2012. Charlotte Church–Fibbers, 28/07/12. A post-punk...
