Last week the Karinski.net homegirls took a trip back to 2001 to see All Saints play live in Shepherd’s Bush. We’d already seen them once before when they sang dreadfully out of tune at Blackpool’s swanky Winter Gardens but now older and on the comeback tale this, their first gig in 5 years, was going […]
So tonight I did my first slot at Rockstarz, in fact my first night at Ghetto which wasn’t Miss-Shapes, meaning I didn’t have old faithful Girls Aloud to fall back on. Rockstarz is all about guitar music and about live bands. Tonight we had Plastik playing. I was quite nervous about the night - I […]
Not done a setlist for a little while so here is what we played last night in our early set. It got very busy, very early and I enjoyed the early set. Nothing exceptionally new or exciting, just fun. Hooray.
The Clash- Rudie can’t failRumble Strips - Oh CreoleThe Raconteurs - Broken Boy SoldiersBeck - Cellphone’s […]
This is the new video from London dance kids, Spektrum, who you may know from the Zipper hammered Kinda New.
It’s called I’m Not Shy, it’s in the shops now and it’s ripe for some ass-shaking.
Vocalist Lola Olafisoye has the same funk and mischievous voice you may expect to feature on a Basement Jaxx track, but […]
Here’s some breaking news for you…
After our Scissor Sisters gig earlier in the year, Popstarz will be hosting a short gig by We Are Scientists on November 10th. Book it in now! See you there?
In case you haven’t noticed the Radio Times have introduced three regular blogs on their site, after the success of Grace Dent’s Big Brother blog over the summer. Grace returns with the TVOD blog, while various people, including my friend Jack, contribute to the Why We Watch and The Best…. Alongside odd things on lowculture […]
Last night I went to see Fischerspooner play live in London at Koko. They were ace. Turning last year’s Odyssey show into something resembling their first year shows, they managed to combine theatre and dramatics with being a proper band.
And my interview? Well all my worries were totally unfounded and Casey and I had a […]
I appear to have a thing for time travel. Is this common?
While as a child, I, like well probably pretty much everyone, loved Back To The Future and it’s time travelling ways, It’s only recently that I’ve begun to think that if you involve time travel in a TV show, it can’t fail but win […]
In a world post Spice Girls and mid-Steps/S Club, record labels were scrambling about all over the place trying to sign the next big pop group.
Before Girls Aloud came along in 2002, there were two other Girl… groups - who tried their very best to fill the gap, but ultimately failed. Like much good […]
Every year there’s some indie bands that make it and some that don’t. 2005 was the year of Kaiser chiefs, Bloc Party and Maximo Park while 2006 has been The Automatic, The Fratellis and Boy Kill Boy.
When Bloc Party arrived on the scene, they were lauded by all and sundry including the BBC who declared […]
