British band Fujiya & Miyagi played The Independent on Monday night with support from San Francisco's The Frail.

It's often said that the perfect remedy for a brisk and dull Tuesday night is a dance party. Who often says this? I don't know. People way cooler than I am. Last Tuesday was unbearably cold and considerably dull, so I decided to heed to the advice of the cool and attend a dance party. A four piece act who recently released their forth album Ventriloquizzing , Brighton band Fuijiya and Miyagi would be our sheppards for the evening. Dirty bass lines pared with David Best's breathy Robert Del Naja-ish voice are the driving [...]

Perhaps we should start by discussing a few time-honoured cliches, such as " you can't teach an old dog new tricks ", or " if at first you don't succeed ", or " a rose by any other name ", as this quartet from Denmark used to make up half of an older group, Le Fiasko . However, this new reformation has released a set of rather masterful tunes, making their previous incarnation seem something more akin to a prelude to the new, improved outfit. We don't have anything against their previous incarnation, but listen to this new set [...]

We here at the Panic Manual have been fans of Brighton act Fujiya and Miyagi for awhile now and I actually reviewed their 2008 release Lightbulbs . They took a bit of a hiatus shortly after that album but returned in full force with the release of Ventriloquizzing last year. One year after the release of that album, they will be taking their light and dance show to the Wrongbar on Tuesday night. If you ever feel like dancing during the week, this will be a good time. Local buzz band Volcano Playground will be [...]

Critically acclaimed AMC's Breaking Bad is a gripping drama following the life of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), an overqualified high school chemistry teacher turned meth cook. When stricken with terminal lung cancer and in search of a way to make sure his family will be financially secure without him, he turns to his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to enter a new business of cooking the highest quality meth around. Not only is Breaking Bad brimming with what could be considered as some of TV's best acting, it is accompanied by a top-notch soundtrack that wraps [...]

Kyle Dean Reinford If you listen to Hospitality , the debut album from the band also called Hospitality , you may quickly find yourself in a game of "where are they from?" based on singer Amber Papini's accent and entries of any and all of the UK, Scandinavia or Australia/New Zealand would be perfectly reasonable. After all, the outfit's idiosyncratic yet hooky pop style would fit quite easily in the musical traditions of any of the above. The truth of it, however, is far less foreign; they're from [...]
