There's nothing more frustrating than loving an album by yourself. Such is the case of Gem by U.S. Girls , the product of the Phil Spector produced psychedelic lo fi world of Meghan Remy's mind. It's a powerful journey through weird sounds, reverb laden guitars and girl group melodies that is firmly in my top ten of the year, despite the fact it seems to have slipped mostly unnoticed through the collective musical mind. This night, however, Meghan, alongside husband Slim Twig , local 'supergroup' Royal Limp and her label [...]
Man Like Me are a rare breed; they're a band that have gotten to where they are now almost entirely off the back of previous performances. There are very few bands out there at the moment that are where they are now because of a stunning live set but it's that snowball effect that planted Man Like Me on a nationwide tour. There's the premise of a newly released sophomore (their debut all but forgotten) and a rereleased track, 'London Town VIP', with added production from Mr Mike Skinner esq. but every person in the room tonight in Brighton [...]
Photo by Juliet Theubet-Taylor Clubnights come and go, tonight being the coming of Triial - a free "genre-less dance party" hosted at the ever popular Green Door Store in Brighton. Despite starting slowly due to the fact there were still people on the beach when it started at 11pm it soon packed out in time for Female Band . The duo improvised mostly on stage, with one on pedals and one on guitar. It worked in places and fell short in others - it's hard to judge on [...]
Despite not being the biggest fan of Japandroids , their live reputation will always precede them, and as a result I couldn't resist going to see them when the opportunity arrived. Green Door Store is one of the better venues in Brighton as well, and, with the show likely to sell out, the atmosphere promised to be incendiary. Supporting them tonight was Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon with his producer Kuhree-oo , who also plays with Born Gold. Perhaps not playing to the most receptive of crowds, Cadence Weapon's stage presence and charisma threw [...]
As you can see on our About section, we pride ourselves on throwing at least one mean party every year at The Great Escape Festival . As we build up to what will be our third consecutive year in a row we're now well known for this annual shindig. As 300 bands and the entire UK music industry descend on Brighton's seaside for a weekend of new music, we do our best to provide a genuine highlight among the many highlights. This year should prove to be one of the most exciting shows we've ever [...]
There's a certain vastness to Clock Opera 's anthemic big-pop, with its spacious build-up blips and whirling sentimental blops that seems daunting to translate live. Often the meticulous production of such a heavily layered aesthetic can swallow you whole in the comfort of the home, but lick limply at your face when played out live, with subdued beats, muted deliverance and restrained punch. Equally, Clock Opera's recent album, Ways to Forget , was of course subject to the same dooming swarm of hype that engulfs many fledgling artists, a pressure cultivated over recent years that [...]
Free Swim , Flash Bang Band , Otti v Robodad and BB are taking the stage at Green Door Store on May 25th which should be a very fun affair. Ahead of the gig we asked Andy Halliday, the singer/guitarist for Flash Bang Band, a few questions about why the good folk of Brighton should be there. The 405: Describe the gig you've got coming up in 5 words. Andy Halliday: Super-Cali-Fragilistic-Expialy -Docious. Why should we come down? [...]
You could learn to play the piano, we could learn to play the piano, we could all be pianists if we really, really wanted to. If any of us spent a few months or years having drumming lessons then we may end up happy to take to the sticks in a band. However, not everyone can sing. Sure, you can have lessons, we can have lessons, but without any actual original talent to start with it's pretty hard to get anywhere, especially professionally. You either have it or you don't. Well, here's a new artist that's stepping out from the [...]
We caught up with Cosmo Jarvis during his UK tour down in our local seaside city... Brighton. Cosmo was playing at Green Door Store, a new venue that has sprung up near Brighton station, far enough from residential areas that it won't fall foul of the pesky neighbours that have closed several great venues over the year, but also t close enough to the centre of Brighton that you don't require a map and 3 buses to find the damn place. It also helps of course that the guys running it have a real taste for picking out new and [...]

Sunday Service is a promotion run by the delectable Bernie Adamic in Brighton. It's been going for some time now, establishing itself in our seaside city as a staple night out for those who demand to rinse as much fun out of their weekends as possible. Her regular showcase of cutting edge music has found it's natural home at the small-but-perfectly-formed Green Door Store venue, which is housed under Brighton's train station in an old Victorian coach house. This Sunday (5th June) the service is bringing us one of it's finest line-ups to date, with not [...]
It's The Recommender's third birthday today, (please leave any happy birthday wishes in the comments), so we have set about planning when and where to celebrate! As if by divine intervention we have one of our favourite new bands, Real Fur , arriving in Brighton to play a rather special show , on Thursday 31st March. This band are not only utterly brilliant, but they're famed for throwing these secret 'Safari Funk' parties in London. They are always held in strange and unusual places, such as old post offices and laundrettes. They turn up, [...]
Theses days, taking a punt on the well-worn marketing move, where you take a less-is-more attitude to what you allow the public to know and see of your new band, is nothing short of fucking boring. It's more reactionary, rather than revolutionary, seeming as it does to kick against the over-saturation of any subject the Internet chews up and spits out. Blame the bloggers and their insatiable appetite, blame the social networks and their tiny attention spans. Blame what you like, it's very over-cooked and if you are going to try and drip feed us with miniature snippets of confusing [...]
So unless you have had your head in the sand (or should that be pebbles?) in Brighton over the last few weeks you will have noticed that the most exciting venue for years has opened it's doors. The Green Door Store enjoyed a massively successful launch night last Friday, with a queue around the block. The Recommender has seen the evolution from the inside, having been approached in the last couple of months by the promotions manager, Ed Lilo, about putting on shows there. We saw the venue turn from a construction site, to one of [...]
