i saw Roisin headline Melt! last weekend in Germany, she was absolutely amazing. Judging by the review sounds like she played a very similar set, it was brilliant. Franz Ferdinand played before her and there was just no comparison, they sounded so tinny while her sound was so powerful even though we were really far back and it was a huge stage. She’s a class act.

was also at MGMT, have never seen anything like it before in my life. security must have been too busy keeping people out of the tent to worry about the people inside. I was right next to the sound desk and the 2 security lads there were even in shock. one bloke was actually going to swing across on the cables from pillar to pillar until the whole tent took a deep breath as soos as he reached out. great gig though. good atmosphere and most importantly nobody died. which is always good.

Kate Nash was such a disappointment on Sunday.
I don’t know if she was having a bad day or if she is always like this live, but she could have at least pretended to be interested.
I thought there was more to Kate Nash.
Utter Crap!!

Without question, the best gig for me this weekend was Róisín Murphy. I was shaking after it! She gave it socks and then some. I swear, the performance had everything – costume changes, electro, funk, great house, fierce rockouts, mad choreography, savage band, mock-fighting, and a perfect, riveting performance from the charismatic and peerless Murphy. Such a pity the sound in Pet Sounds was so muddy. But that’s one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen.
