Raise your hand if you've never heard of Noel Gallagher or the iconic band Oasis from the past. Well, if you haven't been living under a rock for the past 30 years, it's unlikely you'd raise your hand. The mastermind (and arm, since he’s the guitarist) of the formerly world-famous Manchester band has arrived at the release of the now fourth album together with his current band that also bears his name: this summer, "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" in fact returned with the new "Council Skies" after years of absence from a long-running project. A few months later, the announcement of a European tour that would also touch Italy on November 8 would leave little to the imagination: as a good madferit (slang for Oasis fans), somehow, I was going to see Noel Gallagher. The result? Exactly as I expected: Performance It may probably turn out to be a choice not appreciated by everyone, especially in today's age where less is more is no longer a po...

Against all possible and unimaginable odds, we managed to be part of Green Day's Hella Tiny Tour. For those who haven't had their Instagram flooded with posts and stories of Green Day in recent days, in the last month, they announced the release of their new album " Saviors " (January 2024) and also the summer tour that will include the United States, Europe, and the UK. Not wasting any time, GD decided at the last minute to do three stops in Europe (Paris, Milan, London) to promote their two new singles, " The American Dream is Killing Me " and " Look Ma, No Brains! " but also to reward their most loyal fanbase and give them the chance to see them in a very intimate setting. These three shows (actually 2, London was canceled) were scheduled in venues with very limited capacity (about 1000 people). Considering that they have been headliners for major festivals worldwide for more than twenty years, you'll understand the difficulty in securing ti...

What did you guys do on Halloween night? We went out to see one of our favourite bands of this year, Royal Blood, in the beautiful venue 3Olympia Theatre. Alex introduced me to this 2-piece-band at the start of the year, and I got hooked pretty quickly. So did a lot of people around the world, with the release of their latest album  “Back To The Water Below”  on the 1st of September, and with EA Sports FC 24 featuring their hit  Trouble’s Coming . They played two gigs in Dublin, on the 30th and 31st of October, to end the European Leg of their tour. Halloween night is already one of the craziest nights in the world, and Royal Blood bringing a  Ten Tonne Skeleton  on stage made our Halloween night more exciting than ever. Performance The band consists of Mike Kerr playing the bass, and Ben Thatcher on the drums. I feel like being a two-piece band is pretty tricky. You either have to have mad sh*t going on stage, or you have to be ridiculously good musicians. Roya...
