Foals
02, Bristol. (Nov 4)

They played Hummer, enough said - amazing.

Except the 100's of fourteen year olds right next to me fighting for a fucking drumstick.

oh yeah and Toro y Moi looks a lot like herbie hancock.

FENECH-SOLER
FENECH-SOLER - FENECH-SOLER

Battlefields: is a really nice album opener, a nice synth riff with a solid beat touched up with excellent vocals. It’s a very driving number, a little more danceable than their early numbers.

Lies: What more can be said - great track - the re-release will be out 20th September as an album teaser.

Golden sun: I have been lead to believe that this track is the renamed track "white hearts" but I can't be sure! Anyhow this track is very strong - similar dynamics to battlefields stunning vocal work over a synth…

Royal Bangs
Schocken, Stuttgart. (Apr 21)

Yeah, opps. set this document then forgot to write it. sorry!

Anyways, was my first Gig in Schocken, never been into the urine smelling, Daft Punk styled disco dance floor downstairs bit before. Anyways Royal Bangs put on a cool show, I guess they were a little disappointed with the few numbers of people that were there but anyways they cracked on and gave us a great little show.

If anyone knows the track names then comment and I will add them in - Tracks One and Three were off the "unreleased" new album…

Dear Paris, The Kimberlakes, The Beauts
Club Zentral, Stuttgart. (Feb 19)

Yeah, it was awesome. Dear Paris have defiantly matured with their new Drummer and Bassist. Some great new songs and it just rocked! Partying til' 6AM was a very good idea too. It's good to be back :)

Biffy Clyro
Die Röhre, Stuttgart. (Feb 8)

Dull and Unpolished are the two words that sum up Biffy Clyro's performance last night. They had a sound check that went for 40 mins and then EVERY time a track at finished the was at least a couple of minutes of 'shuffling around' in silence before the next song started!? Like WTF. For a band that has had 5 studio albums I expected much better.

The support act BlakFish were a lot more dynamic than Biffy Clyro. Yes their music was a bit "Shouty Shouty" but they interacted with the…

Good Shoes
Keller Klub, Stuttgart. (Feb 2)

The stud - Were a bit shit. Trying to recreate Britpop and "speaking" in a shit english accent doesn't make you good. AND they came on for an encore. who the f*ck did they think they were?

Anyways Good Shoes were wonderful. I have been informed they have Sell Out shows all across the UK. so Keller Klub is probably the smallest crowed they will be playing for a while. The crowd in Keller did not disappoint the friendly and welcoming atmosphere was great, Being my first gig in about 6 months it…

Southside Festival
Take off Park, Neuhausen ob Eck. (Jun 19-21)

A little review of every Band I saw - walked past / experienced.

Firstly, what a nice setting, lots or tarmac to keep the mud down, the toilets were clean and the showers were warm. Ony comment is that the "weirdoes" were at a minimum, shame. I wanted a few more Nutters to be there. Obviously the bin racers were funny, but not quite odd enough.

Paolo Nutini
Great, came out pissed as a fart but really cool set.

Fleet Foxes
Amazing, really love theses guys beards, they are like…

Thu 11 Jun – Fischerspooner

"Stuttgart was fucked up but great"

Fischerspooner
Rocker33, Stuttgart. (Jun 11)

Well, I don't really know what to say I am still in shock to be honest….
Five years I have waited to see Fischerspooner, and it finally happened the shock, the randomness, the confusion, the obscurity, the drunkenness, the abspacken!

The welcome from Mr Spooner of, "I was warned about Glowsticks in Stuttgart" reminded me that leaving drunk messages on Twitter do get read sometimes….

Mr Spooner, was a little camper than what I was expecting, the thrusting and the gyration was a little OTT as my head was a little too close. The performance…

the Streets
LKA-Longhorn, Stuttgart. (Nov 10)

The warm up act was just a lone DJ spinning some tracks. Then the Medley began. The Band was on the stage grooving out some melody, whilst Mike was still up in the lounge! He bounded on to the stage like a maniac! (as usual)! Mike hit out a few tunes before introducing the band and his ‘backing’ singer.

Mike started to explain some stuff then realized that not many understood what the fuck he was going on about so he used the phrases “Can You See Me?, Can You Hear Me?” all through…
