On more than one occasion these guys have informed me that Sparks are "pretencious" "arty ****s" and "up their own ****".
Ah that sounds more plausible! Judging by th ...

I enjoyed the reviews but I really must disagree with this bit:
"speak to the casual music fan, and they’ll describe Sparks as morose or painfully serious, yet they couldn't be more wrong". ...

I did them all as well!
I live in Hertford and work 9 to 5 so train transport was fairly straightforward. The only problem was that pesky cold which seemed to make a comeback on the last night, henc ...

After one of the last Islington shows Russell said they probably wouldn't be doing this again (to much laughter).
They love innovation so I suspect they'll be trying to think of a different concept f ...

Well said. The band deserve a huge amount of credit for pulling off such an audacious project as this.
Thanks R+R!

The sound was terrible in the venue, from the centre front, left front and right front. Someone shouted about the bass drum being too loud and it was. I'm not fussy, but it was really really bad and d ...

With due respect to those with the Golden Ticket, I could only see three shows and am feeling pretty smug as from what I read I hit the jackpot (Indiscreet/Plagarism/Lil Beethoven).
You're right to ...

After a few evenings without any major difficulties, there seemed to me to be sound problems galore tonight, and not just Russell's microphones. The guitar disappeared completely for a couple of track ...

to be fair, only those who were at both meltdown and plagiarism can really say.
I was at both and I'd rate Plagiarism higher. The Meltdown show was excellent, especially the performance of Kimo ...

Another fine show, though the sound is still a little too bass-boomy for my taste. Russell's emphatic delivery brought new life to I Thought I Told You To Wait In The Car which is a track I've never m ...

After the great sound of MTYCDT there were some problems tonight, mainly the return of the bass boominess which made the last two-thirds of the show sound a bit stodgy. Russell was definitely the star ...

Could you hear Ron's keyboards clearly?
Yes.
Astonishing. I supppose it's possible my high-end hearing is going with age but I don't believe that's the case because I can hear a huge difference be ...
