Hot Chip 'In Our Heads' - Online Stream


Hot Chip's new album In Our Heads is released on June 11.  However, the follow up to 2010's One Life Stand is currently streaming over at npr.org.

The album can be heard in full here.

I've listened to the the entire album a few times now and so far my favourite track is Don't Deny Your Heart - I'm loving the 80's synths on this track.  The chorus is great too, fast paced and totally addictive.

The Stacey Brothers' Big Band Steely Dan Project: The Royal Scammers at Ronnie Scott’s, London – 20/01/2024

Image
  The Royal Scammers are a Steely Dan tribute band formed of Jeremy and Paul Stacey, and their 14-piece big band. I only came across these wonderful musicians a few weeks ago when I saw they were playing a six-night run at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club, and managed to snag a last-minute ticket for the final night. As a massive Steely Dan fan who hasn’t seen the band since their last UK show in 2019, and with no upcoming dates on the horizon, I figured a highly regarded tribute band playing at London’s most prestigious jazz club was the next best thing.   Shortly after arriving at Ronnie Scott’s and being led to a front row table (where I was so close to the stage, I was practically touching the keyboard), the Royal Scammers arrived on stage and kicked off the set with a fabulously glossy rendition of ‘Peg’. While the unique vocal tone of Donald Fagen is unmatched, The Royal Scammers lead vocalist Andy Caine showcased a powerful vocal that fully delivered on the far-reaching range r...

A perfect live dvd/cd: The Killers Live from the Royal Albert Hall

Image
I watched this dvd for the first time in ages on Saturday night.  It's one of my favourite music dvd's and a must have for any Killers fan.  The accompanying cd of live tracks is also a bonus (wish all bands would do this!)  Anyway, here is a review I wrote for this dvd, around the time of it's release in November 2009 -  The Killers Live From The Royal Albert Hall is a fantastic live dvd and cd compiled from the Las Vegas band's two night stand at London's Royal Albert Hall on the 5th and 6th July 2009.  The dvd is largely based around their Day & Age album but also features a generous amount of material from their previous albums; Hot Fuss, Sam's Town and the rarities album Sawdus t.  I was lucky enough to be at this concert, so watching this dvd brought back memories from a truly spectacular night.  The band are on top form and Brandon Flowers appears to be in his element, delivering a charismatic performance, with great stag...

Josh Rouse Nashville 20th Anniversary Performance at The Garage, London – 24/01/2025

Image
  Just over a year since the incredible 20th anniversary performance of 1972 , Josh Rouse returned to London to mark the same milestone for its follow up, Nashville . This album has always been my favourite among Rouse’s discography, with my appreciation partly rooted in the fact that, while certain tracks are truly reflective of the album title in their country influence, most of the tracks lean more towards the sophisticated, well-crafted pop that Rouse has become renowned for, with an underlying country influence subtly running throughout. This understated approach to the country genre resulted in a beautifully authentic, yet timeless record that sounds just as fresh now as it did upon its release in 2005. ‘It's the Nighttime’ – Nashville’s opening track, and the one most evident in its country influence, got the gig off to a solid start. ‘Winter in the Hamptons’ followed, with singalong choruses and snappy handclaps that were keenly reciprocated by the crowd. What was immedi...
