Jacaranda Records Ltd – Cafe/Bar & Vinyl Store
Not living in the city centre anymore it has become one of my goals to visit the recently reopened Jacaranda whenever I’m in town. My first visit was always going to be one of apprehension and nerves. A famous historical venue for the city certainly, but on a personal level it was one of my most frequented haunts as a student. Three floors that all offered something different in terms of a vibe; you could get bottles of Stella…

Xiu Xiu Plays The Music Of Twin Peaks At The Kazimier; Review
Upon entering The Kazimier, it was apparent the place wasn’t all that it usually seemed this time around. Each corner of the venue glowed with bright red spotlights and, as we awaited the arrival of the band, we all stared at the familiar, yet haunting, shot of a certain staircase from a certain home in the fictional town of Twin Peaks, in which the ceiling fan relentlessly spins, generating an atmosphere of tension and unease amidst all the anticipation.…
