A gr8 gig venue apart from the occasional Karaoke from below….

Review of neu waves #79 Holiday Ghosts / Park View Estate / Making Eyes

Neu waves continue to promote interesting and often innovative bands. Holiday Ghosts was another in that vein. Low key harmonies surrounding intricate guitars backed with strong drums and fluid bass lines.

Review of neu waves #78 MADMADMAD / Le Junk / Jake Godwin

Madmadmad were mindblowingly great. Le Junk were also excellent. Frequently brilliant bands at Neu Waves.

Review of neu waves #78 MADMADMAD / Le Junk / Jake Godwin

Two wonderful if musically different bands yet both driven by heavy bass lines. Le Junk tuneful and melodic. Madmadmad carefully crafted dance beats. Another magical night courtesy of Neu Waves.

Review of neu waves #74 School Disco / Dubbal / The Crimson Flames

The loft is a good size but needs updating and a bit of tlc....
The lighting is the worst aspect , very glaring again needs someone dedicated.
Also the tall fridge behind the bar has very very bright lights inside the cabinet, if you're facing these lights you cannot see for the glare !

Review of neu waves #74 School Disco / Dubbal / The Crimson Flames

Not my kind of music, but I really enjoyed it! Will definitely be seeing them again!

Review of neu waves #74 School Disco / Dubbal / The Crimson Flames

Dubbal didn’t really fit with the other bands

Review of neu waves #72FridayNightWeirdDreams / Los Dave / Burning Trestle

Another outstanding offering from the neu waves team - 3 diverse acts, a top night out

Review of neu waves #70 Alien Chicks / The Ringards / The Strongest Tool

The Strongest Tool are an interesting band. Obviously new without much stagecraft but musically promising. Slightly disappointed with The Ringards in that they lost the vocal quality from the studio. Still I found myself singing one of their songs this morning. The Alien Chicks were as good as ever. An effervescent live band full of drive and bounce. Gifted musicians to boot.

Review of neu waves #69 ThisWillDestroyYourEars/d.vrpolls/NoiseFactoryUnit

Start with the bad. The urinals need fixing. As for the music perfectly acceptable support for the magnificent and challenging headline act This will destroy your ears. Another sprinkling of magic courtesy of Neu Waves.
