Life in Film Live @ The SoundhouseLife In Film have come a long way in the past few years since they first formed; from touring all over Europe, to being involved in the reinvention of Burberry. With the band currently doing a small series of dates around the country, they stopped off at Leicester’s Soundhouse, before going on to Manchester and then to France…
Her Name Is Calla & Birds Of Passage Live @ FirebugBirds Of Passage set seems to be doomed from the outset by technical difficulties and half the audience talking louder than Alicia Merz’s vocals and music. There’s a definite beauty in these slight tunes but the live setting tonight does her no favours at all with the short set never getting out of first gear…
Flashguns Live @ Lock42The words “next big thing” have been thrown around alot this year; from The Vaccines to WU LYF, Brother to Warpaint. Flashguns on the other hand; are a band that mean business. After taking part in a 70 day tour of the UK, the band stopped off at Leicester…
Does if Offend You Yeah? Live at SUB91You’d think a band who dedicates their songs to dead people would be pretty lame, but not when they dedicate them to the likes of Bill Hicks and not when the band is Does it Offend You Yeah?
In Pictures: The Go! TeamFollowing their brilliant performance at the O2, we couldn’t let our coverage of The Go! Team stop at just an (albeit well written) live review, so we have decided to bring you another In Pictures feature. Keep your eyes peeled in the coming days for our interview with Ian Parton from the band. In the meantime… enjoy!
The Go! Team Live at the O2 AcademyAfter what can only be described as the most manic day of record for The Monograph, including getting stuck in traffic on the way to the O2, getting lost in the O2 and the fire alarm going off twice in an interview at the… er… O2, we were happy to arrive in traditionally late style to the much anticipated Go! Team gig…
I Am In Love & Dark Dark Horse Live at FirebugFeeling rather cheery from the week just gone, I had been looking forward to this particular gig for a while. To top it off Firebug had a great vibe as usual, with the pleasant hum of chatter from a small crowd already assembling…
In Pictures | Maybeshewill & FriendsLast Saturday we embarked on a night of quality performance from seasoned musicians of Leicester at the Y Theatre. After a quick pint watching Peter Wyeth swirl about in a deadly silent room we were slightly spaced out, but impressed nevertheless. In the setting of the Y and with mighty musicians filling the roster, it was definitely a unique day/night to be had for visitors…
Example @ The AuditoriumNot entirely in knowing of what to expect, I strolled into the Auditorium anticipating the far from discreet arrival of Example. Having never frequented the venue in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming size and layout that I was faced with…
Fenech-Soler, David E Sugar and Neon Circus @ SUB91Walking into the newly opened SUB91, we weren’t really sure what to expect for the night that lay ahead of us. Not because we were underprepared for the event, no that’s not how we roll, but because there was so many strange and wonderful variables…
In Pictures | Propaganda Launch NightLast night will go down in Leicester folk lore for one reason and one reason only, it was the night Propaganda came to town and showed all the city exactly why they are number one. The Monograph team was in attendance on the front line to bear witness to this auspicious occasion and can all say, hand on heart and paracetamol on standby, that we are true citizens of Propaganda…
