As a Brighton based band, I’ve seen Lime Garden grow from a small local support to small venue headline shows and now to their spectacular hometown headline at Chalk! In support of their debut album, the four piece have been travelling around the country, with their UK tour concluding in their hometown for a massive …

Today, rising Brighton band Lime Garden cap off months of anticipation by releasing their debut album – as cohesive and confident an opening statement as you’re likely to hear this year. Having recently supported Bombay Bicycle Club, the quintet are gearing up for their own headline run in support of the aforementioned debut album, One …

By Henry Groves I had been lucky enough to see Opus Kink a few times in the past, but none of them lived up to the size of this show. From supporting Chappaqua Wrestling at Brighton’s Rialto Theatre to supporting Black Honey at Green Door Store in the same city. Now they were headlining Concorde …

By Henry Groves Heading to the end of her UK tour, Laura Misch had come to Brighton to play a sold-out Komedia Studio. Originally down to play Concorde 2, the new choice of venue was a lot more intimate, and seeing her in such a small venue was something that is unlikely to happen any …

All Words & Pictures: Henry Groves – All Rights Reserved On the final show of the UK leg of their ‘Ultra World Tour’, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (A.K.A Pigs x7) had come to play their biggest show in the capital to date, at O2 Kentish Town Forum.  The first support of the …

With the long nights and dull days sneaking closer we’re all in need of some transportation and Brighton’s Wax Machine are once more here to deliver. This is a band guaranteed to lift you beyond the day to day, maybe somewhere cosmic, maybe somewhere exotic or maybe deeper down within yourself. Revolving around the restless …

By Henry Groves I don’t think there is ever anything better than a Resident record release show. This time they were presenting Royal Blood at Concorde 2 down on the seafront in Brighton. For a band that had recently played on that very beach to thousands of people, to see them in a venue like this …
