The Black Keys + The Features @ The O2 Academy, Birmingham, UK – 5th July 2010

The Black Keys I love this time of year. Hot sunny days, long warm nights, shorts and BBQs… And if you’re a music lover or Gig Junkie it means music festivals going off up and down the country every weekend. Of course there’s the biggie, the one every band wants to play – Glastonbury. By far the greatest asset of Glastonbury is it’s sheer power in bringing some of the worlds greatest bands to these shores. And whilst here why not turn one festival appearance into a mini tour and play a small handful of gigs in the few minutes you have spare. Taking this into account means that London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham get the chance to see alternative Blues / Rock duo ‘The Black Keys’ before embarking on a full US tour.

AFI + Sick Of It All + The Dear & Departed @ O2 Academy, Birmingham, UK – 12th April 2010

AFI Bit of a contrast tonight at the Academy in Brum. In the main room, a mixture of punk, rock and hardcore, in the form of AFI, SOIA and The Dear and Departed, and in the Academy 3, Joshua Radin? I hope they have good soundproofing as I have a feeling Joshua won’t be loud enough to sing over tonight’s line up in the main room!

Flyleaf + The Crave @ Birmingham Academy 2, UK – 31st March 2010

Flyleaf With the music they play connecting with people across so many genres, its’ easy to forget that they are classed as a ‘Christian’ band, although I read that they don’t like being referred to as just one genre which I personally like as I really think religion and music should always remain separate. Just as the waiting crowd was starting to get a little restless, the lights went up, and beautiful front lady Lacey Mosley walked onto the stage in a stunning red floor length dress and black DMs. Opening with ‘Fully Alive’ from their self titled debut album, everyone seemed to take a step backwards in awe at the power of the voice coming out of such a petite person.
