Midge Ure @ Commonwealth Room 09.05 with Paul Young
For years, I’ve wanted to see Midge Ure. His 1988 release, Answers to Nothing, had played a major role in my early forays into music. I wore out my Band Aid VHS release watching videos by Bananarama, Culture Club, The Boomtown Rats and Ultravox, Ure’s former band. … read more

Amen Dunes @ Urban Lounge 08.17 with Okay Kaya
The most striking aspect of the set, though, was its simplicity. Guitar, bass, drums, some piano or synth—depending on the track—performed totally live (no tracks, no loops) under a monochromatic wash of light.
