I walked out of the station and heard a voice singing. The weather suddenly felt less dull. Here she was, with her guitar, an old pair of jeans and trainers, just blowing people’s mind away. Zombie, Seven Nation Army, huge hits she owns like she’s written them. “Surely, she’s just a good cover singer”, you…
A couple of weeks ago, Tim Darcy from the Montreal based post-punk band Ought played a solo show at the Lexington, London to promote his debut album. It was a good show: Great music, performer, musicians and venue. But the cherry on the cake was discovering the support band, who played Kinks/ Beatles / Blur…
London. 29th July 2010. John Parish has just finished playing a gig at the Water Rats with his band. He’s one of the most respected producers in England, has co-produced among others PJ Harvey’s albums including the seminal ‘To Bring You My Love’. A shy, twenty-something girl with long, black hair approaches the band. She buys…
And on the 8th day, Zaha injected life into buildings. They couldn’t fade dully in the background anymore. She didn’t fade dully in this world either. She was surely a starchitect, but truly an icon who inspired millions of architects, engineers and dreamers across the world. And icons don’t fade. One of Zaha Hadid’s last public…
He was Ed Sheeran’s neighbour. He’s a unique songcrafter. He doesn’t aim for Wembley. He wants to earn it. Read our exclusive interview with Ralph Taylor, a not so ordinary 17-year-old.
Cecil Sharp House. Wednesday, 9pm. Danna Immanuel and the Stolen band are about to go on stage. Before they even start playing, you’ve got the feeling that it’s going to be fun. An eclectic bunch of musicians hovering all over the place to get ready. One of them seems to come straight from a Western movie…
With the university fees reaching skyrocket levels, one could start wondering if all these sacrifices you do for top education are actually worthwhile. Is it actually worthwhile feeling the burden of university fees, sacrificing your social life on a Saturday evening to submit reports, revise for exams, manage your projects, when half of the lecturers don’t…
Luciana is 23. She is a young dentist graduate who travelled to Montreal aged 17 to follow her dreams studies. But she’s not your average dentist. She’s not your average graduate. She’s a vagabond. A what? A VAGABOND. An adventurer. A vagabond with guts. She seeks for the adrenaline rush. For the scary adventure. She…
“I believe if I take a deep breath, smile, and start my day with one small positive thought, this could change my whole day.”
I stumbled across the band Hinds (formerly Deers) a couple of months ago. It took me by surprise, like a brisk fresh wave in the sea. The band started with Madrid-based Ana and Carlotta before adding to their line-up drummer Ámber and bassist Ade. Their music is fresh, raw, funny. It is everything that is missing to rock’n’roll today. Hinds goes…
