Jedi Mind Tricks

Venue The Jazz Cafe
Date 1 March 2010
By Ryan Proctor | 08 March 2010
Published in: Live Reviews
Jedi Mind Tricks
A Jedi Mind Tricks show is less of a typical concert and more like a bar-room brawl set to chest-thumping beats and rhymes. Taking London's Jazz Café by storm on the last date of their European Assassin's Creed tour, the trio of Vinnie Paz, Jus Allah and DJ Kwestion proved… Continue>

Jay Electronica 

Venue The Jazz Cafe, London
Date 18 February 2010

Jay Electronica
If I was asked to name one of the best rappers to emerge on the music scene in the past decade, Jay Electronica would rank at the top of my list. Etched as the 'new messiah of Hip hop', it's an assertion not far from the truth as I'm sure… Continue>

JLS - Tour 2010

Venue HMV Hammersmith Apollo
Date 13 February 2010

JLS perform exclusively for Nokia Comes With Music and T-Mobile
As a male in my late twenties, did I really want to give up my Saturday afternoon to see JLS in concert? Well the answer would be, not really, for something supposedly churned out of the X Factor 'factory'. To my surprise it wasn't half as bad as I first… Continue>

Teena Marie

Teena Marie
Although Teena Marie - 'Lady T' to her fans, of course – was in London ostensibly to promote her new album, 'Congo Square,' it was no real surprise that her live set at a sold-out IndigO2 in North Greenwich consisted mainly of golden oldies from her copious back catalogue of… Continue>

Slum Village

Venue The Jazz Cafe, London

Slum Village
Prior to this latest performance, I last saw Slum Village two years ago, also at the Jazz Cafe. The venue was packed, and everybody was sweaty and screaming at the top of their lungs. It was definitely one of the best shows I had ever been to in my life.… Continue>

Alicia Keys album launch party

Alicia Keys album launch party
Nowadays, it's not often that I go out of my way to attend one of these things but both the star and the expectation of such a night, made me feel nostalgic enough to hit up our flock's leader, put on my special Black Sheep hat and began badgering the… Continue>

Masta Ace & Edo G
Throughout our lives we all bare witness to those moments that we can look back at in our old age with tearful nostalgia. The kind of moments where we can tell our grandchildren that “I was there”. One of those very moments took place this past Friday at the Jazz… Continue>

Mos Def

Venue The Forum, London
Date 29 November 2009

Mos Def
Despite the fulsome praise heaped upon rapper Mos Def since he started his career back around 1996, this sold-out concert was just about the dullest I’d been to in some time, and this is coming from someone who saw Tim Dog and Chubb Rock live in 1991 at the quarter-full… Continue>

Marva Whitney with Osaka Monaurail

Marva Whitney with Osaka Monaurail
To the uninitiated listener, perhaps, the pairing of the Kansas City soul sister, Marva Whitney, with a nine-piece funk band from Japan might seem an unusual combination – but as anyone who witnessed the former James Brown revue star’s performance at a rammed-to-the-rafters Yardbird club in Birmingham last night will… Continue>

Dead Prez 

Venue Koko, Camden
Date 6th November
By David Cano | 09 November 2009
Published in: Live Reviews
Dead Prez
A typical Dead Prez concert is always full of some odd contradictions. Looking around at the packed out Koko crowd on this rainy Friday night, you can spot a mix of hip hop heads and rudeboys bobbing their heads and white, flannel shirted hipsters pounding their drunken fists in the… Continue>
