Murcof at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Sun 10 Jun
Following on from 2005’s Remembranza, Tijuana’s ever progressive Fernando Corona, with eyes directed heavenward follows on fro»
Ballboy, Bearsuit, Shrag, Horowitz at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Sat 23 Jun
Today at Kilburn's beloved Luminaire, we see the most concentrated twee presence since Sarah Records lured a load of gingerbread men into their candy-walled office within the sweet, sweet sickly city of Tweeville and managed to coax Teenage Fanclub into being a lounge band for their reception.»
Wheat, Shady Bard at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Thu 12 Jul
This isn't right. At Wheat's only UK show to promote their new album, Kilburn's Luminaire is only half full; in fact there's so much space that people at the front of the crowd are sat down...»
Sonic Cathedral at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Tue 25 Sep
Sadly this evening much of their promise fails to conjure a delivery worth raving about. A pleasant affair though their set is, one to tap a toe and sup a brew to, it’s not quite as sold. ‘Yet’ is a particularly operative word, though...»
Asobi Seksu - L
Regardless of what language lead singer Yuki Chikudata sings in, it is incomprehensible, and moments arise when DiS drowns in their seemingly endless expulsion of reverb, distortion and noise»
Jens Lekman at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Tue 11 Dec
Sure as Christmas is and always will be returning, Jens Lekman’s voice gives me hope that eventually Sinatra and Martin will stop selling records in Decembers. Even if that hope is just a little bit of glimmer in the tack of the tinsel and chintz»
Shhh! Fest at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Sun 27 Jan
What better venue for an “all-day festival of quiet music” than the Luminaire? Famous are its painted notices to (I paraphrase) shut the fuck up or fuck the fuck off; equally famous is its ruthless enforcement»
Enon, Ill Ease, Instruments at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Mon 04 Feb
Crazy night. I wanted to like Ill Ease, really I did but she annoyed the hell out of me. Onewomanband she may be, and she may be a»
Johnny Flynn at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Thu 07 Feb
The man on the microphone sounds both wary and wise beyond his twenty-something years, his music a mixture of thigh-slapping, hand-clapping country and lonely folk for the quieter moments, almost everything sorrow-dusted»
Aidan John Moffat at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Wed 16 Apr
Aidan John Moffat is here to cheer us all up with his songs and poems about fanny, cock, affairs and vodka. You'd assume that it would be a dour, difficult and affecting experience, but it's remarkably breezy»
HEALTH at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Thu 01 May
Los Angeles' HEALTH are incredible tonight, somehow even tighter than they were when they visited the UK last year, and with their giant of a drummer demonstrating just how valuable an asset he is to this music»
Sunset Rubdown at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Thu 22 May
Tossing up words like incantations into a surging maelstrom where complexity meets bluster, all's most definitely well in the court of Spencer Krug this evening»
Comets On Fire at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Sat 05 Jul
This could be the final final chapter, but let’s hope not. After all, DiS leaves still able to hear itself think, which is never right for a Comets On Fire show»
Akron/Family, The Acorn at London Kilburn The Luminaire, Mon 08 Sep
An evening spent in the company of two of North America’s finest, as rambunctious as it is unique»
Sonic Cathedral @ The Luminaire, Kilburn, 17/03/10
By the end, talk is of whether or not Sonic Boom will make another Spectrum record rather than concentrate on production duties elsewhere, as for an hour or so tonight, Rugby's most eccentric maverick borders on genius...»
