VIDEO OF THE WEEK – O.R.k.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – O.R.k.

, ,

My latest choice is a true visual treat, as well as an audio one of course, as this prog rock amalgamation of the talents of ex-Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin and King Crimson’s Pat Mastelotto round out their busy year with the final instalment of a triptych of single releases to preface the arrival of their latest album early in the new year.

DOOL/Lifeless Past – Amsterdam, Melkweg – 19 December 2024

,

This is it folks, the final show for Jase W this year to wrap up 2024 before he signs off from work until the new year and get stuck into far too much booze and stodgy food on my return trip to Blighty. What a year it’s been and what a way to end it in true Dutch style with absolutely fucking awful weather and one of the Netherlands’ most interesting up and coming bands, DOOL.

The Jesus and Mary Chain/Ciel – Liverpool, Content – 15 December 2024

The Jesus and Mary Chain/Ciel – Liverpool, Content – 15 December 2024

,

DJ Astrocreep’s last scheduled home town gig of the year saw him take in Scottish shoegaze troubadours JThe esus and Mary Chain for the first time, whilst also in a new venue for the first time. Content is based in the old Cain’s Brewery complex and is almost like a Tardis – you don’t realize just how big it is until you’re inside and the room just keeps on going! Acoustically, the venue is great, with well laid out speakers meaning the sound is loud without needing to be ramped right up and destroying the clarity. Brighton’s Ciel were our only support for the evening, which hinted at great things to come.

Briqueville – Amsterdam, Paradiso – 15 December 2024

,

The Netherlands certainly does seem to do what Jase W would consider more unusual show setups and this was one of them. Briqueville, another band on Pelagic Records’ roster, were the opening act for an all-day event at Paradiso and certainly seemed to be a bit at odds with the other acts on the bill but in this instance our man was there solely for Briqueville. It was probably just as well because he was fucking shattered!

Gone Savage were formed in Manchester back in the early ’90s and had some limited local success, releasing several albums before they went on hiatus from 2013. Several of the original members resurrected the band in 2019 and recorded and released multiple singles that eventually made it onto the 2022 digitally released album ‘Pastlife’. Getting signed by Muzzle Records has resulted in this compilation of new tracks, with original members Ian Salpeker (bass) and Will Glover on vocals being joined by Dex Tyler (drums) and Jon Sudbury on guitar and backing vocals.
