Last night marked Haim’s headline show at the iconic O2 Academy Brixton which has hosted a wide range of acts since becoming a music venue in 1983. I’d been looking forward to this show since it was announced and it looks like I wasn’t the only one as when I arrived the queue was already stretching around the corner! I won’t say too much about the show here as you can read my review over on Milky Tea Kid, so for now here are some more photos!

Last night I headed to Union Chapel to see Australian singer Ry X. I have been to many venues across the country and Union Chapel was probably one of the most unique in that it is a working church, a drop in centre for the homeless AND a gig venue! It was a great experience to see a gig in a church, you could even get mugs of tea which was another first for me! Supporting Ry X was Rhosyn who I really enjoyed and who did a great job of getting everyone warmed up ahead of the main act. Ry X came on stage after a short tea break and went straight into his song Shortline on the dimly lit stage. I didn’t know a lot about Ry X beyond his song Berlin so it was good to hear some more of his stuff! It was a great show and a great venue! Looking forward to hearing more from Ry X! Check out the review of the show by my pal Milky Tea Kid which has a couple more photos from the night. Were you at the show? What did you think? Let me know over on Twitter or Facebook!
Yesterday I headed to The Forum to hang out with a bunch of Armenians and to see LA band Viza who were there supporting Skindred. I’ve been a fan of Viza for a while and had been looking forward to hearing some songs from their latest album Aria which was funded through Kickstarter, as well as songs from their older albums. You can listen to Midnight Hour (Dingle Rock) from Aria on Viza’s soundcloud page. I recommend checking out the entire album, it’s a good one! Thanks to the guys at Viza for the photo pass! Looking forward to the next show, hopefully with a longer set! Check out some of my older Viza photos here. After Viza, the next support up was SOiL. I’ll admit I hadn’t really heard much of SOiL’s music before but I’ll definitely be checking it out! They did a great job at getting the crowd going and excited for Skindred. After SOiL, headliners Skindred came on and the crowd surfing began. It was a great night and I’m looking forward to hearing more of all three bands again!
