Apologies for my relative absence. Have been very busy with a wide range of things, from dissertations, to travel, job hunting (still ongoing), songwriting and other shenanigans. Compared with my esteemed co-bloggers, this has made my contribution appear somewhat lacking.

Nevertheless, I hope to make up for my lack of posting with a few reviews the wide range of music gigs I have also recently been going to (or are soon to go to). Starting with a quick review of Dr. Dog's latest UK gig (which happened a few months ago tbh), I will continue in order, ending with Delta Spirit's forthcoming UK gig, and maybe even throw in a few MP3s of some obscure/interesting tunes by said bands for your listening.

So, starting tomorrow, check out the following reviews:

1. Dr. Dog & Treetop Flyers
26.05.10 @ The London Cargo

2. Muse, Editors, Band of Skulls & Pulled Apart by Horses
4.09.10 @ Lancashire Cricket Ground (Manchester)

3. Old Crow Medicine Show & Dave Rawlings Machine (feat. John Paul Jones)
14.09.10 @ The Leeds Irish Centre

4. Lime Scurvy & others

5. Delta Spirit, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Zenemans & Plastic Poets
