Live Review: Muse, The O2, Friday 13th November
Muse might have just released the worse album of their career, but even a bad album by Muse standard is still something unearthly awesome to behold. It’s so chockfull of smoke and mirrors there’s almost no room for songs, but when a band like Muse play live, all those bits you don’t get from the record come flashing to life.
Live Review: The JD Birthday Set
Take some of the most credible pop performers of the past two decades, cut away egos and bravado, and land them in front of The New Silver Cornet Band? and you might just be onto something. Apple Jacks in full flow and Jon ‘The Reverend’ McClure opens the show with big-band versions of his Makers material, filling the Shoreditch art gallery space with the newer material of the night, while a welcomed and wholly unexpected appearance from Sex Pistols’ Glen Matlock showed how the JD Birthday Set had become the stuff of legend over the years.
