News from Personal Trainer [ad_1] Sad news guys: we won’t be able to make the show in Madrid tonight. Our van was not feeling it today, we brought it to a couple of garages, rented another van to try and make our show anyway. Big time rush. Then we ran into a protest jam, found…

A HotWax roundup from the past year of this young band’s stellar rise. Check out this link to a heap of coverage we and many festivals have given to HotWax over the past 12 months or so. There is a good reason they are going to be appearing on so many festivals stages this year…

Hi everyone Very sorry we have been quiet recently. We have been busy figuring out next steps for our lovely little festival. Having considered carefully and explored various options we have taken the tough decision to give 2024 a miss. The current economic climate means it would be reckless to plough on with such uncertainty…

News from Personal Trainer [ad_1] Second leg of the tour was a bit more complicated than the first leg. Too complicated to explain really, but there’s a lot of vans and plenty kilometers involved. Even though we couldn’t make Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia were two incredibly fun shows. We didn’t expect there would be as…

Rockaway Beach Festival at Butlins, Bognor Regis, never fails to put a post-New Year smile on our faces as it’s one of the most consistently well-curated line-ups in the festival calendar. With just two musical stages and a central ‘speakers corner’ to navigate, the festival is super-compact, and the organisers time the performances perfectly so…

DEADLETTER take no prisoners by launching straight into ‘Love Thy Neighbour’ as a means of kicking the MainStage into gear with the very first bars of their opening set on the Sunday night of Rockaway Beach. It’s a fast, furious, and rousing song that will hopefully be a significant part of their pensions… But that…

Definitely the audience reaction of the weekend!!! SNAYX [fb_vid id=”349336154534231″] Source
That familiar ‘snakes on a plane’ intro track signals what so many people have been waiting all weekend for… it’s launch control initiated, and time for the nicest two guys off stage to transform into snarling (but always smiling) anti-establishment ASBOs on stage… SNAYX are all about the bass… and Boys in Blue shakes leftover…

Reading up on Joyeria for a bit of background throws up some hints – but few facts. The name of the man is carefully masked, with only a few biographic clues scattered around the internet. He’s Canadian, a chess player, and apparently good at sums. Spotify confusingly states his name is pronounced ‘Pizzeria’. What his…

Luke Duffett presents lounge cabaret for a disaffected generation – with occasional crowd surfing (but not today). There may be a big crowd for this opening set at Rockaway Beach 2024, but it is Sunday, and it is only noon. Few reviews of Enjoyable Listens manage to avoid references to Bryan Ferry, Nick Cave, Jarvis…

Tonight it’s duo mode, with jobbing guitarist Chris Webb…

[ad_1] DITZ at Rockaway Beach 2024 Cal Francis is the androgynous front man of DITZ, and for the last five years or so he and his band have been carving their name into the grain of the Brighton music scene and gradually working on breaking out to wider attention. Whether Butlins at Bognor was on…

[ad_1] Our super-snapper does it again with these great shots of ĠENN from Rockaway Beach 2024 Leona’s voice and vocal stylings coupled with the band’s heavy riffs and angry drums put the Anglo-Maltese band, GENN, into a world populated by Kate Bush, Souisxie Sioux, and the kind of metal bands who are most at home…

[ad_1] Chalk fundamentally understand the dynamics of a live show… …and singer Ross Cullen REALLY knows his way around a vocal delay effect pedal! If we were to put Chalk into a pigeonhole they would find themselves filed alongside Glasgow’s current industrial post-something darlings of the live music scene, VLURE (who we’ve been championing throughout…
