Andy Dangerfield Music: November 2006
http://andydangerfieldmusic.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Camden Roundhouse, 22 November 2006. Now in their 40s, the Chillis may have calmed down a little since their days of performing wearing nothing but socks to cover their dignity, but they certainly know how to churn out an impressive set list of greatest hits. Semi-naked tattooed bassist Flea pogoed around and wild-eyed drummer.

Andy Dangerfield Music: June 2006
http://andydangerfieldmusic.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Sunday, June 04, 2006. Dirty Pretty Things, The Forum, 24 May 2006. This was always going to be a tough set for Carl Barât. The last time he performed at the Forum was in December 2003 with fellow Libertines frontman Pete Doherty. Their gigs were acclaimed as being some of the greatest in recent years, with showstopping stage invasions and guitars flung into the crowd. But it was this ...

Andy Dangerfield Music: October 2006
http://andydangerfieldmusic.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Saturday, October 07, 2006. Air Traffic, Camden Barfly, 2 October 2006. I blame Coldplay. Ever since Chris Martin warbled about everything being everything being the wrong colour, introducing bed-wetting music to the mainstream, we’ve witnessed a string of vapid piano-led indie bands trying to imitate their success. Air Traffic’s drabness was exacerbated by strength of their support ac...

Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Friday, September 22, 2006. The Bishops, The Luminaire, 16 September 2006. Why is there always a group of gangling giants half way to the front of the crowd at gigs? If you’re cheeky enough to squeeze past there’s often enough space to make some serious shapes in front of them. Lead vocalist Mike seemed nervous when talking to the crowd but was exuberant when playing guitar, shaking hi...

Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Saturday, March 25, 2006. The Kooks, Mean Fiddler, 23 March 2006. The perfect antidote to a seemingly endless winter, Brighton four-piece The Kooks brought a ray of summer sunshine to the Mean Fiddler last Thursday. Posted by Andy Dangerfield @ 9:30 AM. Saturday, March 11, 2006. Rifles, 93 Feet East, London- 9 March 2006. Let’s make it a memorable one, lead singer Joel Stoker announced...

http://andydangerfieldmusic.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Sunday, March 04, 2007. The Rapture, Astoria, 28 February 2007. The Rapture showed new rave’s pretenders how to party at their NME show. With messy hair and funky t-shirts the quartet looked like they’d just come from Camden Market rather than NYC. The band’s songs are ideal for a live setting as they fuse crashing guitars and mellifluous sax with thumping beats. Tweed suit wearing lea...

Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Saturday, July 21, 2007. Rise Festival, Finsbury Park, 15 July 2007. Move over Beth Ditto. Shingai Shoniwa is now officially the coolest lady in rock. Wild haired, donning gigantic gold shoulder pads and torn florescent green leggings, she didn’t just warm up the crowd at Europe’s largest anti-racism festival - she set them alight. She couldn't have summed-up Rise better. Defining sexy...

Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Thursday, July 13, 2006. Rise Festival, Finsbury Park, 8 July 2006. Jazz virtuoso Roy Ayers couldn’t have timed his set more perfectly. The sun had just broken from behind the clouds as he launched into his mellifluous Everybody Loves the Sunshine to a warm Rise festival crowd. But it was the diverse music, comedy and dance on seven stages that seemed to unite the crowd the most. A...

Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Thursday, September 27, 2007. Prince, O2 Arena, 20 September 2007. It’s over. After 21 nights, 46 encores and 63 costume changes, Prince’s residency at the O2 arena is finished. I managed to grab a couple of tickets on eBay for 40 quid each. Were they worth it? He belted out his hits from Get Off to Controversy and proved guitar prowess in a cover Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love. As he...

Andy Dangerfield Music: January 2007
http://andydangerfieldmusic.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Here are some of the reviews I've written for The Independent, Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune and West End Extra. Saturday, January 20, 2007. Riders on the Storm, Camden Roundhouse, 30 December 2006. In true Doors style, the band entered the stage half an hour late. Keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger were the only original Doors members, but lead singer Ian Astbury had Jim Morrison’s look as he shook his tambourine and stamped his feet for opener Roadhouse Blues. As if he needed ...
