Wet Leg at the Electric Ballroom

Wet Leg

Electric Ballroom, 17 July 2025

I finally got to see the electrifying Wet Leg do a blistering 50 minute set at the Electric Ballroom and it was absolutely perfect!

Japanese Breakfast at Brixton Academy

Brixton Academy, 3 July 2025

I've been intrigued to see Japanese Breakfast for a long time, partly due to a recommendation by a friend years ago and partly because I loved frontwoman Michelle Zauner's brilliant memoir Crying In H Mart. I must admit I was slightly reluctant though when they announced this date because it was at the far from intimate Brixton Academy for one thing and also because I had a feeling the demographic for Japanese Breakfast would be far younger and more obsessive than me (a la Mitski or Phoebe Bridgers, the latter of which I was lucky enough to catch before she became a teen girl dream). But knowing I had no gigs lined up for a while, I said, what the hell, and took the plunge, and bought a last minute ticket.
