Spotlight on 2:54

2:54

Dingwalls, London (4th February 2015)

Who are 2:54?

Described as an alternative rock band, 2:54 are fronted by Irish sisters, Colette and Hannah, accompanied by bass guitarist Rich and drummer Alex.

Almost toying with being pop at times, the guitar bass and drum beats keep the band grounded by a darker sound, with hints of Garbage and The XX dropped in for good measure.

Where can I see them play?

TwoFiftyFour_DingwallsYou’ve missed them in London (if that’s where you’re reading from) – that’s where we saw them last night, at Camden’s Dingwalls.

They’re off to the States next, kicking off in Brooklyn on the 27th February. For more dates, check out their Live page.

Skream residency, XOYO, London (10th January 2015)

There is no doubt in our mind that Oliver Jones nailed the first night of his three month stint at one of our favourite haunts. From the moment we walked through the door we knew we were in for a treat – in fact, as the man himself said on Twitter today:

It was certainly the busiest we’ve ever seen the club that early in the night – quite possibly ever!!

As we continue to try and pull ourselves together, here are our top tracks from the night (taken from both rooms)…

Ten Walls

XOYO, London (28th November)

Last week saw (friend of the blog) Catriona and I looking to relive some memories by going to see Ten Walls play a live set at XOYO London. Revisiting the moment the crowd carried out a sit down during Walking With Elephants at Unknown never fails to make me go a bit tingly (I love that I got to be part of that!), but was he going to live up to the memories back in the confines of a club venue in the UK? I would say he did, but in different ways.

Marijus Adomaitis had kept his identity secret for much of the early months of his new project under pseudonym Ten Walls. Although his secret is now out, his ever expanding army of fans will likely know him only as the latter and his brand continues to grow based on this. Armed with his soundboard and accompanying visuals, he had the audience captivated from the moment he hit the stage.

Klaxons with support from THUMPERS

Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London (4th November)

On a scale of 1-10 of excitement, I would say I was about an 11 for this week’s Klaxons gig. Although I was lucky enough to see them at Berlin Festival 2013, I had missed out on getting tickets for their comeback gig at 600-capacity venue, Oslo in London earlier this year. Seeing them in Berlin had brought back so many great memories of almost 8 years earlier when they released their first album, Myths of the Near Future (which I have on special edition vinyl 🙂 ), and I had desperately wanted to see them again in a smaller venue.

Back then, in 2007, I saw them at Newcastle Academy and remember not necessarily having the best experience as we got caught up in a teenage mosh pit and I got elbowed in the ribs on more than one occasion. A mosh pit! Why are people moshing to Klaxons?! I’m glad I won’t need to worry about that this time I thought…oh how wrong I was!

Warehouse Project 2014: Welcome Home

WAREHOUSE PROJECT 

Store Street, Manchester (27th September)

Featuring: Jackmaster, Leon Vynehall, Carl Craig, Tale Of Us, Seth Troxler, Harri & Domenic, Ben UFO, Pearson Sound

This weekend saw me return to Manchester for the opening night of Warehouse Project 2014. I was flying solo for this event as Wendy is currently soaking up the sun in Italy – not completely solo, of course, as Catriona was happy to step in to help me sample what WHP14 had to offer.

Having called Victoria Warehouse ‘home’ for the past couple of years, this year saw WHP return to its spiritual home, Store Street, for the period 27/09/14-01/01/15. A car park and old air raid shelter, the location under the railway arches of Piccadilly station offers the perfect site for an event of this type and scale and the organisers chose to return here in advance of next year’s major milestone – WHP’s 10th anniversary.
