Despite having arrived at Hard Rock Hell just a few hours earlier, Cage The Gods were off on their interview path and Planetmosh caught up with them early on. Only forming a year ago their set on Stage 2 later that day was superb, with more confidence and finish than …

Having grabbed the Northern Ireland scene by the scruff of the neck and given it a jolly good shaking over the past 12 months, Screaming Eagles now seem set to do the same to the rest of the British Isles – and beyond! Last month, they travelled to Glasgow for …

As I ventured out onto Brighton seafront ahead of the onset of St Jude for my fifth concert in five days, it seemed the storm would not only be brewing outside Concorde 2 but inside as well. Local band Cage the Gods were concluding their run of support dates on …

I interviewed two members of blues hard rockers Cage The Gods, who were supporting The Answer at The Garage venue in Glasgow, Scotland. Accumulating from all corners of the UK, I spoke with Welsh Bass player Mitch Witham, along with recent young English addition Colin Jones, who replaces the disappearing …

Northern Ireland will always bring a big smile to my face. Not only as it’s my homeland, but there are a hell of a lot of great bands with huge energy, a lot of passion, spirit and soul throughout. A lot of Northern Irish bands seem to get overlooked somehow …

Originally attributed to an ancient Colombian chieftain who covered himself in gold dust and then committed suicide, it has become much better known as the mythological city sought by the Spanish Conquistadores in the 15th and 16th centuries, which resulted in genocide …

The setting for this evening’s unofficial ‘homecoming’ – and Thin Lizzy’s first outdoor festival gig in Belfast – is a man made auditorium, close by the River Lagan, with apartment blocks to the front and side of the stage, the density of which looms over the normally imposing edifice of …

First band up tonight was Skam a three piece hard rock band. They had a very energetic performance style with intense grooves and bluesy riffs, they deliver a sound holding true to British Rock and Roll. Steve Hill is definitely a member to mention, he is highly entertaining to watch with his very ballsy persona on stage.
