Swans / Jessica Moss (live at Brixton Electric) https://freq.org.uk/reviews/swans-jessica-moss-live-at-brixton-electric/ Songs mutate and evolve, improvised elements sticking and becoming part of the canon. In fact, #Swans evolve to such a degree that I reckon given a long enough tour, one of their songs is infinitely more likely to develop sentience than any fucking LLM. #livemusic #gigreview Pix @davros23

Phew / Freddy Murphy (live at the Jam Jar)

When Phew starts it’s a slow hypnosis of slippery sounds, her voice recoiling a merry-go-round full of twisty vapours. This bamboo beat is introduced, whipped in rhythmic rat tails and trapped moth zither. The sounds are rich, roll into each other with stretchy squishability I totally warm to.

Well Belinda Carlisle was as awesome as expected last night. She might not have quite the reach for the high notes that she used to, but her voice still has that gorgeous vibrato and it's a pleasure to hear her singing.

Dancing across the stage barefoot and in a flowy black dress she obviously enjoyed belting out all her solo hits, plus Our Lips Are Sealed from the Go-Gos days (a song she dedicated to its writer, the late great Terry Hall). It didn't take long before the audience (mostly people of, ahem, a certain age) were up on our feet singing and dancing along.

And as a special bonus the unbilled support act was Roland Gift, whose voice is similarly still there and gave us 25 minutes of glorious FYC hits.

10/10 would concert again.

Jackie O Motherfucker / Six Organs Of Admittance / Riley/Radley (live at Strange Brew) A show of shimmery frets and arrowed harmonics carpeted in the subtle ebb of swirling effects. The bayoneted brilliance of Tom Greenwood’s words hazily biting that drumless flow. #livereview #gigreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/jackie-o-strange-brew/

Celebrate three decades of great songs and tight musicianship from a heavy metal rite of passage commanded by the cardinals Dug, Ty, and Jerry.

Gig Review: Faster Pussycat @ Racket NYC - 6/27/25

Faster Pussycat provides a heavy hitter of striking music to the ears, the soul, and the loins, with personal lyrics, gun-slinging guitar riffs.
