Listen to my latest gig guide to hear who is playing in Luxembourg this week, Nieve Ella's show at Rotondes on Saturday looks like being a great night out!

#nowplaying one of the first records I bought (92, switched to vinyl as cds too expensive!), #pavement funny to see Ken mansplaining them in the #barbie movie 😂

People either seem to love or hate this Fat Dog lp, I think it's really good, reminds me of Gaye Bykers on Acid, gutted will be out of country when they play Luxembourg in April

Why should we call them guilty pleasures? I genuinely love this album, has been with me nearly my whole life! Yes it sounds better on my cd version but love playing this old copy I found in a charity shop on my birthday a few years back

Love New Fast Automatic Daffodils, so underrated yet such an amazing sound. Not cheap to get hold of their albums on vinyl so was pleased to get this Pias40 sampler. Big is just sooooo good!

I don't get Amazon pricing, look at the difference in this Ride LP between UK and Germany!

December 17, 2024 at 9:20 PM
SPRINTS tonight at Rotondes!!! What a gig, great fun and a really good performance!
December 14, 2024 at 10:42 PM
Just back from seeing DIIV, must have been one of loudest gigs I've ever been to! They were very good though and hardly any phones out (I just took one quick pic!)
December 13, 2024 at 10:11 PM
Now I'm not a Guns n Roses fan but even if I was I think over €1200 for a concert ticket that includes a chance to ask a member of their crew a question and have a pic on stage with their instruments is a fucking rip off! I would take full advantage of the free bar 🤣🤣🤣, but you do get a lanyard!
