Review: Black Midi @ Rough Trade Bristol
Since they first emerged towards the end of 2017, discussions of Black Midi have been of a permanent, almost obligatory enthusiasm. Tonight sees the band play Rough Trade Bristol as they continue to share their cerebral and powerful sound.
Live: Heavy Lungs @ The Joiners, Southampton
Hailing from Bristol and bringing a twisted post-punk impression, linking four-piece Heavy Lungs to their fellow musicians IDLES is predictable but a waste of time. Comparing Bristolian post-punkers Heavy Lungs to their fellow musicians and friends IDLES is to be expected
Live: Mike Skinner & The Streets @ O2 Apollo, Manchester
What makes a musician a legend? Is it age? Is it album sales? Is it selling out three nights at Manchester’s O2 Apollo? For Mike Skinner and The Streets, it’s probably a straightforward case of whether you can provoke a good time or not.

Live: Joji @ Heaven, London
Joji plays London’s Heaven nightclub with support from Clams Casino. It’s 8 in the evening on a Wednesday and Heaven is almost full. It’s hard to tell who is here to watch Joji (aka George Miller), who is here to watch Pink Guy or Filthy Frank (two of Joji’s online comic alter-ego’s), or who is here for all three.
Live: MGMT @ Albert Hall, Manchester
Popularity was an unwanted pregnancy for MGMT. After releasing Oracular Spectacular in 2008 they spent two albums running away from their own hits and the bright-eyed pubescent attention they brought. Read the review of MGMT playing Manchester’s Albert Hall.
