  • A guest 80% for Brian Wilson · Sun, 15 May 2016

    Pet Sounds Plus performed by 12 brilliant musicians on a cramped stage. Brian alive and talking to the audience, singing in tune and just modestly being a Beach Boy. Al Jardine and son Matt excelling at the difficult notes. Some bloke, thinner than Jagger and uglier than Keith Richards poncing about too. Superb song selections played to perfection from start to finish. Shame it had to end.

    I am a big fan since '"Feel the Fire" album so quite a while:)
    Awesome gig, one of the best what I have ever seen. Very intimate space and powerfull concert.
    Thank you brothers!

  • A guest 80% for Beartooth · Wed, 25 Nov 2015

    Blood Youth, Stray from the Path and of course Beartooth were incredible. The venue was awesome, and the setup was well coordinated. The gain during '68 was far too strong, and wasn't too enjoyable. The bar service was top, along with the staff. i'd give the gig a solid 4.2/5

  • A guest 100% for Beartooth · Wed, 25 Nov 2015

    literally amazing, my favourite kind of gig - heavy band, small intimate venue, no barrier, loads of stage diving, crowd surfing and just carnage!!!!

  • Aleutia for Jesus Jones · Sun, 22 Nov 2015

    Great show by the band, played a new song & a well balanced set of old material including a rare b-side

  • A guest 60% for Lonely the Brave · Sat, 21 Nov 2015

    Lonely The Brave were OK, but Black Peaks were awesome. Can't wait for the debut album. Venue was good, but the bar was awful.
