My Last Show of 2016 (Probably) Imagine a concert featuring Dark Tranquillity, Swallow the Sun, Enforcer, and Starkill. That’s a pretty badass lineup. Anyone would be a fool to pass up a show like this. UNLESS Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Arkona, and The Agonist are playing THE VERY SAME NIGHT. […]
Steven Wilson With Bruce Soord On 12 November 2016, I saw Steven Wilson perform with Bruce Soord (of The Pineapple Thief). This was my fourth time seeing Steven Wilson, the most recent being last year, and the third time seeing him as a solo act. This was also the first […]
Watsky’s x Infinity Tour On 8 November 2016, I went to see Watsky perform for the third time in three years. Last year, I presented coverage of his performance and I decided that this year I would do the same. This show was particularly important as he was in support […]

Gojira and Tesseract On Friday, 14 October 2016, I saw Gojira and Tesseract perform. I am not super familiar with Tesseract, but I do enjoy what I have heard and their performance was very good. Unfortunately, Gojira’s performance is hardwired into my head and that is going to be the […]
R.A. The Rugged Man and A-F-R-O Back in late September, I decided to see R.A. The Rugged Man and A-F-R-O. A-F-R-O was my main reason for going and I was intrigued about R.A. The Rugged Man because I was largely unfamiliar with his work. I spent a small amount of […]
