Andy Burrows

For those of you that are huge music buffs this is definitely someone you will have heard of.

Andy Burrows is an indie/acoustic musician from Winchester, UK. Despite recently releasing a solo album, Andy is most known for his earlier projects. First hitting the music scene in 2004, Andy was the drummer in Razorlight until 2009, and then for We Are Scientists. If this wasn't impressive enough, Andy has also worked with I Am Arrows and Tom Smith from the Editors.

In October 2012 Andy Burrows released his debut solo album "Company," which includes the singles "Keep On Moving On" and "Hometown."

For me Andy Burrows provides the perfect option when seeking music that is chilled out and easy to listen to. It also helps he is a great acoustic singer - something that always wins my vote!

Ra Ra Riot Music Gig

Ra Ra Riot are an  American indie rock band from Syracuse, New York. If you like bands such as Tokyo Police Club, Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit, than this is a band for you.

Ra Ra Riot have two albums, their debut album "The Rhumb Line" which was released in 2008 and their most recent "The Orchard." There are many great songs on both albums, however songs to certainly check out are "Can you tell," "Too Dramatic" and "Ghost Under Rocks."

I first saw this band live in 2006 when they were supporting the Editors in the UK. The band includes a vocalist, a bassist, a guitarist, cellist, violinist and drummer, which combined creates great upbeat tempos and smooth melodies.

I was extremely impressed by Ra Ra Riot's energized performance. All six members ran, skipped, and danced enthusiastically around the stage whilst playing their instruments and singing their songs. The crowd really responded well to this, and seemed eager to hear what they would play next.

For a fun night of music, I would certainly suggest to get tickets.

Tour Dates
17th May. Upstairs at the Garage - London, UK.
18th May. The Ruby Lounge - Manchester, UK.
19th May. Audio - Brighton, UK.

White Lies Music Gig

This is a great indie rock band from London, UK. White Lies formed in 2007 but only started growing in popularity with the release of their songs "Unfinished Business" and "Death" in 2009. If you are a fan of bands such as The Klaxons, Editors, Interpol and Fear of Flying then this is a band you need to check out. White Lies have two albums, "To Lose My Life.." which hit number one on the UK Album Charts, and "Ritual" which was just recently released in January of this year. The lead singer Harry McVeigh has a very distinct voice which allows you to instantly recognize their songs. Generally their songs, although quite dark, are very uplifting and inspiring. 

Even though I have not seen this band live, I am an avid listener of their music and will definitely be looking to see White Lies live in the future.
