Live Gig Review! 7 Day Weekend @ Osale Rooms 17.02.12

Feb 222012

For the first time in Osale Rooms short history there is a phenomenon tonight that has occurred never before – an under-18′s night. Now let’s get things straight, I’m not a fan of under-18′s nights. There’s many reasons for my disdain, but mainly because that the audience for these tween gigs will have an average age of about 15 or 16. Since I am 23, this does not look good for me attending such specialist gigs. Mostly though this usually means that alcohol isn’t readily available. I am not a fan of this rule. So will Osale Rooms, and headliners Read More – Watch Music Video

Live Gig Review! Plastic Palace night @ Osale Rooms 17/12/11

Dec 312011

It’s a week and a bit before Christmas, and there’s festive cheer all around in Warrington town, and none more-so than in Osale Rooms, which is holding one of its infamous (well, to those that remember it as the old WA1) nights, Plastic Palace. There’s DJ’s working the first floor, but it’s upstairs in to the dark, somewhat cosy-feeling attic of the place, that some of Warrington’s bands are out in force tonight. Could they bring the festive cheer to even the most bah-humbug of the Warrington masses? First up is Selfish Lovers, a female-fronted pop band with a lot Read More – Watch Music Video

The Ambersons – Christmas Gala Affair @ Osale Rooms

Dec 112011

Are you fed up with that same old Christmas music already? Well fear not, we have a Christmas twist. Osale Rooms Warrington, fast gaining a reputation as Warrington’s best live music venue, is hosting a Christmas bash with a line-up that includes some of the best music Warrington has to offer. The event will take place on 17/12/2011 (a Saturday night!). Two bands whom we’ve previously covered, you could almost describe them as Prince Baron regulars – Bill Davro and The Ambersons, will be joined on the bill by the Selfish Lovers. We admit to knowing little about the latter, Read More – Watch Music Video

Warrington Winter Music Festival 19/11/11

Nov 222011

Winter has well and truly got its icy grip on us all now in the midst of November. It’s a time when we’re ready to spend more time indoors than stand outside, so then why the hell has Warrington Borough Council decided to book another music festival in these winter times? Because they’re still damn good to watch, that’s why. Twelve bands graced the stage over an eleven hour period. But could they break the ice and draw the crowds out from the warmth of their homes? In a word yes. Throughout the day’s festivities are a variety of acts, Read More – Watch Music Video

Interview with… Bill Davro

Nov 182011

Bill Davro play at the Warrington Music Festival tomorrow, we caught up with them earlier in the year, asked them some questions, which they answered: Q. How would you describe your music? A. Bill Davro is like a fizzy drink. It would be the classic Coke taste blended with Caribbean fruits and a hint of Cream Soda. Q. Who is the bands biggest influence? A. There is no main influence really, it is the mix of all the different things we like and find interesting. It’s very diverse and hard to pin down. Q. If you were to make one ‘Rock Read More – Watch Music Video

The Stocks, Exile Parade & Bill Davro live @ Osale Rooms

Live Review: The Stocks, Exile Parade & Bill Davro: Osale Rooms Warrington grand reopening night 09/09/2011 – by Mike Glover On a wonderfully warm Autumn Friday night, Osale rooms (formally the legendary WA1 club to Warrington indie-folk), re-opened to the public with aplomb. And it was on fire to all that could see. Quite literally in fact, as the club decided to opt for a circus-themed gala, with fire-breathers and jugglers greeting you at the club’s entrance. Garish dress-sense was positively encouraged. So with the theatrics and decor sorted, could the bands on show offer some sure-fire entertainment? After getting Read More – Watch Music Video

Warrington Band The Wookiees

Aug 052011

Bit of promo we had for Warrington band The Wookiees. Why not just copy and paste? Go on then: The Wookiees are four guys from Warrington that feel there needs to be a change in the music industry. Getting influences from Funk, Rock and the down right strange, The Wookiees have become Warrington’s biggest and only diverse Funk band. We have spread our sound across the North-West of England but are looking to break free from the same venues. We have played in Warrington, Chester, Liverpool, Runcorn, Manchester, Crewe, Wigan, at many venues. Since forming on September 7th 2009, we Read More – Watch Music Video

Warrington Band, The Stocks

Aug 042011

A short review of Warrington band The Stocks. By Paul Darlington for Prince Baron Records. Today I’ll be looking at the stocks, one of the well established names in the Warrington music scene. I’ve managed to watch the stocks on a number of occasions and am always impressed and intrigued. Like a fine wine the stocks definitely have improved with age. The stocks have a fantastic stomping nature to there songs which make you nod your head or tap your foot this is surely down to the bands addictive drum and bass line up, often chunky and bold.

Warrington Band The Ambersons, Music Review

Jun 172011

While I sit here listening to The Ambersons new track Mary Anne modestly followed by the word ‘Demo’ my first reaction is to go grab my harmonica, dungarees and a deliverance look alike young chap. Suddenly I’m grabbed back by the brilliant vocals by front man ….. who has a vocal tone which reminds me that of The Frattellis before we all got bored of the drag of Chelsea Dagger. The Ambersons sound is well thought out, a charming mix of folk and rockabilly but with a fresh edge; provided by clever use of synths. The Ambersons really bring a Read More – Watch Music Video
