Appropriately guitar-less for the night, Plurals delivered a heavier-than-usual dose of noise to Hotel Pelirocco's audience.

Second stop, not exactly on the weekend but whatever, on my psychedelic trip was the EP launch party featuring Hypnotized and supported by Speak Galactic and Occult Hand. All great representatives of the strong local electronic scene.

Last weekend I went for a double dose of the Innerstrings Psychedelic Lightshow at The Green Door Store, first stop featuring Trans lead by this ex-Suede fella, you may have heard of him... Bernard Butler was his name, I think. Supported by the "two-man noise assault" Kellar.

One of those nights with great acts from start to finish. Shame on those who only pop in for the headliner, shame indeed. And speaking of great supports - you should really try and catch those Sly guys live, if for no other reason than to see a band with no less than 3 drummers. And, on top of that, you can play along.

You know how you're supposed to have a glass of water before you drink an espresso to fully enjoy its flavour? Well, Synthesize Me was the glass of water before a very long cup of sludge, doom and all things dark and heavy courtesy of Iron Witch supported by Slabdragger, Sea Bastard, Caravan of Whores and Hate Fuck.

It was my first time at Synthesize Me, a monthly Brighton electronic music event held at Hotel Pelirocco, accompanied by the Innerstrings Psychedelic Lightshow. The trippy interiors went great with the colourful bubbles swirling around and the blips and pings coming from the odd devices scattered on the table. It definitely wasn't my last time.

When you step out of the stuffy venue and welcome the rain, you know it's been a good night. This has definitely been a good night.

I do on occasion expose myself to some pretty terrible music by showing up to gigs early. But every once in a while I catch a truly awesome supporting act, or three for that matter, that make up for that. Demob Happy might have been the headliner as well as the crowd-drawer but the highlight for me personally was the French duo - Thee Maximators.

"A confrontational band, a visceral beast of eight legs and one mouth that never quits, its stream of freeform hang-loose lyricism owing a debt in style, perhaps, to literary forefathers" - Mike Diver

Fun gig, loud, lots of hair shaking, sweat splashing and guitars flying about.

It was a concert I almost didn't go to and what a waste it would have been. A great line-up from beginning til end made those 4 hours just fly by.

It was great to see The Soft Moon again, this time in a larger venue with much larger speakers. Looking forward to even larger rooms with some insanely colossal columns.

Last night at The Green Door Store was all about the hair, shaking and flowing all over the place, obstructing the pretty faces of the girls and boys on stage. And with all the glitter left over from the Pride Parade earlier in the day, at times it was difficult to tell which was which.

Thomas Truax, a grade-A cuckoo (and I mean this in the most flattering way possible), brought his friends - the Cadillac Beatspinner Wheel, the Hornicator and the Stringaling, over to Brighton all the way from Wowtown for a night of antifolk and wacky shenanigans. It was certainly an event that stood out from the sea of identical indie band clones you can see pretty much any night of the week. Looking forward to the repeat!

Yesterday Japandroids made their long-awaited return to Brighton. Certainly older. Wiser? Maybe. Even more hyped? You bet! Enjoy.
