Great Escape Brighton Bands Gallery

Hopefully everyone has now recovered from The Great Escape. Here’s a few shots from the local bands I saw – as always I only saw a fraction of the bands I wanted to, but I did catch Heights at Unbarred Taproom, Hanya at the Hope & Ruin, Sleeper at the Mesmerist, Penelope Trappes at St Mary’s Church, My Life Story at the Black Lion, Trip Westerns at the White Rabbit, and Hutch and Helen Ganya on the TGE Beach Stage. I’ve already picked up a Super Early Bird ticket for next year too

July Brighton Gig Previews

We don’t do gig previews that much any more, mainly because we don’t get out nearly as much as we used to. We’ve got a big feature coming, but it’s taking a little while to get together, so to tide you over until then, here’s a few gigs that have caught our eye over the coming month:

Tomorrow night (Monday 10th July), Bleeding Hearts almost celebrate their fifteen birthday at The Rialto. As they put it: “We’d planned to host an alldayer only to find out that our adversaries had used their telemeters to evil effect. Due to dimentional complications we will not be celebrating the actual anniversary but instead our inability to celebrate our longeveness.”. On the bill are Garden Centre, Academy of the Sun, Gary Goodman and Sam Cutting. Continue reading

New Brighton Music

It’s been a few weeks since our last New Music post, and we were playing catchup with that one, so there’s a lot of ground to cover. Here’s a selection of our favourite tunes that have come to our attention in the last couple of weeks.

First up is Our Girl with their debut single Sleeper, the coolest four minutes of guitar music we’ve heard in a while:
