The xx

The xx

So the ugliest band that have ever lived (Magic Numbers aside..) came to our fair shores last week to play a sold out gig at Audio, put on by our dear friends at Lout Promotions. It sold out so easily that another gig in March is already booked in at the Komedia and if...

‘TRASHED’ Gatecrashers wreck family home after party invite put on internet

‘TRASHED’ Gatecrashers wreck family home after party invite put on internet

Oh no, I’ve gone and got it all wrong again. Last week when me and the lads went to that music video shoot and were told to ‘act’ as if we were gatecrashers. Well, I just read the local paper, and… apparently we weren’t acting, oh no. I remember vividly a guy with a...

Doll and the Kicks Video Shoot

Brighton favourites Doll and the Kicks have just begun their world tour supporting Morrisey through Europe and the United States. Before they left though they decided to have a super fun party/music video shoot at a random girls amazingly swanky house over in Hove. We were invited just because we were, and so we...

EAR PWR

EAR PWR

We’ve just seen EAR PWR play the Free Butt in Brighton, to a crowd of maybe only about 30 people, which somehow turned into the craziest gig I’d been to that week. Devin and Sarah don’t play on the stage, but in the crowd. Dancing around a small table with an assortment of synthesizers,...

Passion, the Pits?

Passion, the Pits?

It must be a weird feeling being pretty much certain you’ll only be famous for 6 months. Whether Passion Pit actually know this or not is another matter of course, I was just thinking out loud. Their recent gig at the Concorde 2 sold out pretty easily as can be expected I guess and...

  • What colour is a mirror?
    January 14, 2010 | 13:55

    What colour is a mirror? Is it the colour of whatever it is reflecting? Is it clear/invisible? No. The correct answer is silver. Silver seems to be the new black at the moment. Starting the new decade in the most futuristic way possible, the youth in the south-east are covering themselves from top to toe in shiny, metalic, reflecting silver. As you can see in the image below, model Worcester Aprons is sporting an all in one silver jumpsuit, a mask in post Renaissance style and sneakers to match. In six months time we’ll all be dressing like Mr. Aprons.

Smack the back of their legs!

2000 and niner: A climate of mistrust and cynicism prevail. Successive governments massage statistics to suit dick-dastardly plans; bankers are wankers, big-business sell souls for profit; idiot mothers feed their allergy-riddled babes hydrogenated fat, sugar and salt and swindle them of their innocence – creating mini-me chubster-consumers.

More of our neighbours than you could ever imagine are ready to lynch you for muttering a swear word; for smoking in public; for not recycling properly; for saying it as it is. The PC brigade inform our liberal, compassionate selves that we're the fascists!

It's like 1984. Or four-legs-good nonsense. Civil liberties are being eroded and our fellow men blink slowly and tell us: "if you don’t do anything wrong, then there’s nothing to worry about".

Well, SMACK THAT. We’re gonna swear because we can and it’s not fucking illegal
