Last Saturday night I was in unfamiliar territory for me, namely Chelsea Football ground.  Why was I there? To attend the launch party for Nico Tamburella’s new album, ‘Mind Cage’.  The venue, ‘Under The Bridge’ is definitely a cool venue for music nights and due to all the photographs of …

I had the pleasure of catching up with Dan Briggs  for an interview about his new experimental jazz/fusion band Trioscapes. Hi Dan and thank you for taking the time out to fill in this email interview for Planetmosh.com. Can you explain why  you picked the name Trioscapes and what does it …

I was looking forward to the tonight’s gig at King Tut’s with Paradise Lost, Insomnium and Vreid gracing the stage. Paradise Lost had just released their 13th studio album ‘Tragic Idol‘ that day so was really looking forward to hearing some more of the new tracks live and as well …

As Friday night dawned and another working week came to an end, I headed over to Nambucca for a Freak Circus.  (No, I’m not being harsh, that’s the name of the night.)  I had been looking forward to this gig for a while and as many of my mates would …

Tonight was the first night of Australian band Tracer’s first UK headlining tour.  They were in the UK last late last year supporting Royal Republic, and are now back.  It’s impressive – less than six months ago they were the support band at the Underworld, but now they’re headlining the …

Ciao guys, firstly many thanks for taking time out to talk to us, you’€™ve been together now€™ since 2007, how did it all start? NICK: Everything started in 2007, the idea wasn’t to be a classic hardcore band, just to have fun, the idea was to do just  a few …

Tonight’s gig was the Dragonforce album launch party and was described as an intimate gig.  They weren’t kidding either – the venue was the Temple room at the HMV Institute, on the top floor of the venue and being a tiny room with a capacity of just 300. Long before …

I leapt at the chance to interview Marco Mendoza this past Sunday, about his very first UK solo tour. We are at the Borderline in London, an intimately cosy venue, and Marco easily makes himself at home; chatting to me about his life, passions and his time with Thin Lizzy. …
