Do you remember the eighties, asks Nick Rhodes. It's pretty clear given the age profile of the crowd here, that everyone does. Duran Duran would have been important to many of us here, many years ago, as important as Top of the Pops was, and roller discos and emigration and all that stuff that we remember so fondly. Duran were the biggest, smoothest band on earth. Even Goths were allowed like 'Save A Prayer'. It could be argued that after four years the ride was over, and the decent tracks they've released since them comprise the exceptions, rather [...]

Twitter was abuzz with praise during and after Duran Duran's performance at the O2. Many of the sentiments echoed were along the lines of "Who needs X-Factor?" when these old boys still have the hits and the show to do the business. The setlist culminated in 'Wild Boys', 'Girls On Film' and 'Rio'. Check back here later for what writer Dara Higgins thought of the show...

On yet another rainy day in the big smog we once again found ourselves looking forward to filming some sessions with a few more of our favourite artists. This time, General Fiasco. It seems odd that position we've found ourselves in has brought up so many opportunities to meet and practically get exclusive acoustic performances with acts i'd spent hours before HMCMB came to fruition playing over and over again. Maybe we should start seeing it as work, but for the moment it still feels like a real treat and privilege, and hopefully it'll stay that way. It's always better [...]

Kasabian played the O2 in Dublin on Saturday as part of their Velociraptor! Tour.

When Bon Iver announced their UK tour a few people including myself wondered if their uniqueness could work in academy-sized venues (even Justin Vernon mentioned in a interview that he used to hand out lyric sheets to the audience to try re-create their sound). The nine-piece band certainly prov... Read more..

When The Darkness announced they were "back" during the first half of the year, we were excited. When they continued to be "back" in the Special Guest slot before Def Leppard at this year's Download Festival, we continued to be excited. We're still a little bit excited that they are continuing to be "back" now [...]

Tempah recorded a quick video right before going on stage to share his excitement. He also shows off his brand-new, brightly-flickering [...]

Fresh off the back of their third and best album to date, A Different Kind Of Fix , Bombay Bicycle Club ventured on their biggest UK tour so far to showcase the newfound maturity of their latest tunes. The notably adolescent crowd gathered for opening act Dog Is Dead, the brightest hope of the rapidly exploding Nottingham music scene. Best known for their appearance in the latest series of Skins, they played a fantastic set taking in fan favourites and material from their forthcoming album. 'Young' was brilliant as ever with crisp, powerful harmonies, new [...]

Ever since I was a little girl, Dolly Parton has been on the top of my list for Dream Next Door Neighbour. Even now, I could imagine being out in my garden, just chilling, maybe feeling a bit contemplative. Then I'd see Dolly over the fence. She'd come over and say hey, decked head to toe in pink and made-up with big hair and crazy nails. We'd shoot the breeze for a while. She'd eventually get my troubles out of me and know exactly what to say. She'd deliver it with such wisdom, incongruous to her image, that I'd know [...]
