The sheer intensity of Swans is always a wonder to behold.

Le Mini Who? 2014, Utrecht, 22/11/14
Good People; who on this planet has the heart to tell Harry Merry to stop?

Le Guess Who Day Two, 21/11/14 Rodion GA, UKanDanZ
We walked in to see this Romanian genius in full flow. Man, he looked off his tits; rocking this ‘unwanted lunatic at a family do’ red kagoule-cum-dad’s coat. Zipped up. Over a jumper.

Le Guess Who Day One 20/11/14 Einstuerzende Neubauten, Loop
This is a point where people are beginning to realise this is a really special show. I mean Neubauten are special anyway (they’re not ELO are they) but this gig is sliding off the richter scale.

The Homesick, Dog Food, V11 Rotterdam 15/11/14

Incendiary go to Rewire Festival – Den Haag – Day 2 8/11/14
Tricoli’s gig more than lives up to his LP’s reputation. Gothickle Musique Concrète has never sounded so fucking groovy.

Incendiary go to Rewire Festival – Den Haag – Day 1 7/11/14
Like some high priestess at Boudicca’s side, invoking an army of Wode-covered Hairies to the slaughter, Lipstate urges us on. Magic.

Eton Crop hit the North
Violinist Adrian lets us know that he left the Netherlands that night, because he can’t stand missing the gig. ‘I’m absolutely fucking determined.’ He drives from Gorinchem to Calais, takes the tunnel and then drives all the way up to Stockton.
Future 3 – With and Without
This LP is really, really good. It’s managed to traverse the chasm of weak, insipid, lukewarm sonic piss that lots of modern electronic pop slide into.
