Tuesday was a special day for many reasons. Firstly, the sun was out. In Glasgow in December that’s a bigger achievement than you might think. Secondly I got to make lots of lovely new friends, and catch up with some old ones. And thirdly, Phil Campbell got to play the …

Ivory Blacks in Glasgow could be a great wee venue. It’s a decent size, it’s smack bang in the city centre, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be buzzing on a Saturday night. Unfortunately because of some strange planning Tigertailz played last night to a crowd of only about fifty. …

Friday was a big night for Eden’s Curse, as they recorded their new album live at the Classic Grand in Glasgow. Not many bands have the honour of being introduced onto stage by Scottish rock radio legend Tom Russell, but there he was, with some words of wisdom for the …

@planetmosh reviews Something Supernatural by .@Crobotband on .@nuclearblasteu I have no idea what Crobot are smoking, but it’s certainly giving them one hell of a trip.  This album should have been named Everything Supernatural, as every track takes us through a nightmare collection of devils, wizards, necromancers and the legendary chupacabra.  …

On Tuesday night in Glasgow Rich Robinson brought his solo show to the O2 ABC2.  Probably best known as guitarist and songwriter in the Black Crowes, Rich released his third solo album, The Ceaseless Sight earlier this year, and will release The Woodstock Sessions next month, a new album recorded …

Sunday night saw the long awaited visit to Glasgow of the band everyone seems to be talking about: Blues Pills. Having previously had to cancel two gigs in the city it was little wonder that the venue sold out. Having said that, Audio is tiny, hidden away under Central Station’s …

Today I had the opportunity to call Dave Wyndorf, singer with Monster Magnet, and have a chat to him about their new album Milking the Stars: A Re-imagining of Last Patrol. He was really fun to chat to and had loads to say, about recording, touring, and Glasgow train stations! …

@planetmosh reviews Milking the Stars – A Re-Imagining of Last Patrol by .@monstermagnetnj on .@NapalmRecords. So, somehow I’ve managed to be completely unaware of Monster Magnet for the majority of their twenty five year career.  Which probably makes me the ideal person to review this album.  It is, as the …

@planetmosh reviews .@ThunderousJones on .@SoundHub Records. Hailing from the Midlands, Thunderous Jones formed in 2009 and went through various line-up changes before finally settling on their current roster early last year.  They are: Liam Coffey – Vocals, Tay Lakin – Bass, Mike Wroe – Guitars, Mark Eyden – Guitars and …

Back in February I went along to the O2 ABC in Glasgow as a Planetmosh newcomer, wondering what to expect as I reviewed the first Glasgow gig by southern rockers Blackberry Smoke.  I said in that review I hoped they came back soon as it was one of the best live …

Tuesday night saw the debut Scottish gig by Aussie rockers Massive, along with Buffalo Summer and The Treatment.  I caught up with Brad and Jarrod from Massive before the gig for a chat.  Then we went off to the pub, and I was made official band photographer for one night …

Tuesday saw the second night of this tour, and the first ever Scottish date for Aussie rockers Massive, whose feet have yet to touch the ground after a flight from Oz, a drive to Newcastle, a gig and a drive to Glasgow.  A healthy diet of Newcastle Brown Ale and loud …

@planetmosh reviews Haze by .@american_scene on .@purenoiserecs The American Scene are a four piece from Berkeley, California. Formed in 2009, Haze is their second album, released on Pure Noise Records on September 9th. Sometimes at Planetmosh we get to review bands and artists we really like, which is great but other …

Saturday night was a very different Planetmosh experience.  Quite often we go to gigs alone, as photographers or reviewers, and don’t have anyone with us to share the experience of a gig with, to review it with over a drink afterwards, and to remember it with later on.  This time …

@planetmosh reviews Whatever It Is by .@Estrella_Rocks. When I spoke to Estrella a few months ago they were just back from a European tour and were planning to get into the studio to start work on their much anticipated second album, a follow up to the hugely successful Come Out To …

On Saturday night I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing The Graveltones just before their gig at Stereo in Glasgow.  It wasn’t your typical interview, barely a question was asked, but they went away knowing some new Scottish words, and I went away with a pain in my side from …

@planetmosh reviews Leave a Scar: Live in North Carolina by .@blackberrysmoke on .@earacherecords. The guys over at Earache Records must be rubbing their hands together in glee, as they’ve managed to get some of the best up and coming bands in the world on their roster, including The Temperance Movement, …

@planetmosh reviews Savages by @TOADM on .@rrusa and .@604Records, out on July 28th 2014. Savages is the fifth studio album from Vancouver four piece Theory of a Deadman.  They are Tyler Connolly on vocals/guitar, Dean Back on bass, David Brenner on guitar and Joe Dandeneau on drums.  I saw Theory of …

Let’s go on a nostalgia trip……It was the early nineties, Bryan Adams was topping the charts all over the world with Everything I Do and on a rainy day in Glasgow he brought his Waking Up The World tour to Celtic Park, with Extreme as support.  I stood on the terraces …

I’ve never seen anything quite like the scene at the O2 ABC in Glasgow last night.  I thought I was early arriving at 6pm, but soon discovered I was wrong as the crowd of somewhat rabid fans informed me they’d been there since 4am!  As much as I was looking …
