The View From… Camden (Again)
Tim Osboune is a journalist who likes going to gigs. A fortunate combination. When he offered to write for ANBAD, I immediately said ‘Yes!’; when he offered to write the article on Camden’s music scene, I said, ‘Oh, go on then,’ because, even though it’s been discussed before, Tim’s view is very different…  An (Unpretentious)...
PHOTOS: Florence And The Machine & Holy Hail @ Terminal 5 (04/09/10)
(Photo: Loren Wohl) Last Friday we saw Florence And The Machine with opener Holy Hail perform for a sold-out crowd at Terminal 5. And yes, it’s confirmed, her eloquent voice sounds even better live than on the recordings (if you can imagine that).

The 2009 Brit Awards: I Know I Shouldn't Bother, But I Will Anyway
I already did a fairly comprehensive rant about last year’s Brit Award nominations, and when I first saw the Brit nominations for this year, I just expelled a huge sigh and asked myself, why bother wasting my energy again over a year that clearly mirrors last year’s nominations and many of the preceding disappointing years?

TEETH
Extremism Is Purple   Glitchy fucked-up noise punk from Dalston, England. TEETH combine the spazzy apocalyptic rhythms of HEALTH with the bootsy dance beats of the English underground DIY grime scene. Their music is akin to an infestation of vermin, all filthy and infested with obnoxious bugs, but for those of us who like nasty diseased specimens TEETH totally appeal to our sick minds. They...

Laneway Festival 2010: Review
Laneway Festival February 1, 2010 Britomart Square, Auckland Last week our Melbourne friends told us that the Laneway Festival is one of the least respected festivals in Australia, we were surprised, but it meant we entered the first Auckland Laneway festival with a hint of scepticism. We’d been told stories of forty minute-queues to see bands, poor facilities and an even poorer...
