 At £50 a ticket, URHQ staffers weren't exactly falling over themselves to catch up with Robert Plant's recent low-key tour to promote his 'Band Of Joy' album.

John Oakley is an Uber writer in the middle of a three-gig sandwich. Tonight he's sampling the tasty filling of Swedish Battle Metallers Sabaton for the second sold out night in a row and he's relishing every minute of the band's 'World War' tour.

 Sunday night in a sweaty club in Bristol, The Computers might have said "no" (cancelling last minute) but two other bands were brave enough to be on the same bill as AC4 and still live to tell the tale. Darrel Sutton gets up close and personal with Swedish hardcore music at its most primal and exciting.

 In the UK for a flurry of exclusive 'Evening With' shows, Chicago's finest exponents (and some might say originators) of the power pop genre Cheap Trick were a 'must see' for at least three Über Röckers. With Rob 'The Doctor' Watkins being the Trick nut within our fold he was the obvious choice to tell you our story.

 Back in London for the third time in as many months, Russ P just had to witness powerpop supremo Bleu on his debut UK tour, even if it possibly meant cutting the show early to get back home. So with one eye tentatively watching the clock, ladies and gents we bring you Bleu...

 Matt Phelps has been here, he's been there, he's been every fucking where, and when Anti-Nowhere League are in town he certainly won't be too far away. So is the promise of a sweaty Bierkeller plus a handsome selection of support bands enough to tempt our man to follow the long and winding road to Bristol?

Gig Reviews
Dom Daley ventured over stormy waters to catch the Goo Goo Dolls on their UK tour, taking in venues that must seem like dressing rooms to the stadium rock superstars.....upsetting the distaff denizens of Bristol's O2 in the process.....
