Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii is a film that is packed with oddities, experiments, frustrations and a whole lot of sand. Live at Pompeii is required viewing for 'heads', but does this 52 year old film still have any relevance? How does it hold up against other legendary rock films?

Asunojokei + Lebrique + The Grey | Colchester Arts...

2023/06/05

The opportunities to witness Japanese black gaze bands playing live in the UK aren’t frequent. So when Asunojokei announced they would be ending their first European tour just down the road from us at Colchester Arts Centre tickets were bought as fast as our meaty fingers could hammer in card details on the Arts Centre website. The fact our friends Lebrique were in support was an added bonus. This episode was recorded live on the night of the gig (05/06/23) with some help from James Howard and some

What makes a good live performance? Forget about the songs and musicianship and think about the other stuff. For this episode of the Beat Motel podcast, we were going to talk about the best light shows we have ever seen, but we realised that a good gig is about more than how many lights are blinding the audience. Join Dr Sam Page and Andrew Culture as we discuss eight of the best performances we have ever seen and explore the reasons why we loved them.RIFF OF THE WEEKAndrew: Queens of the Stone Age

Why do good bands make bad recordings?

Beat Motel Zine ·

2023/05/15

Why do bands mess up excellent songs with the wrong production choices? Why would any band choose to make their recordings sound deliberately terrible? Dr Sam Page and Andrew Culture answer these questions and many more in this episode of the Beat Motel podcast.

Gateway Bands

2023/04/06

What bands led you to discover an entirely new music genre, or scene, instrument or whatever? In this episode of the Beat Motel podcast Dr Sam Page and Andrew Culture lead us gently on a wobbly journey of discovery through their own gateway bands.But this is Beat Motel, so we set the caveat that any band mentioned can't be either obvious or too mainstream. Saying Led Zep us into metal would be boring. We want the weird, the obscure and the challenging. --- Send in a voice message:

Cuckoo Farm Studios Experimental Music All-Dayer

What do you get if you take a bunch of experimental noise musicians and put them in a barn in the Essex countryside with a loud PA? This. This is what you get. For this episode of the Beat Motel podcast, we take you on an occasionally aurally painful journey through an experimental music all-dayer. There was a wide range of acts playing the Cuckoo Farm all-dayer so this podcast episode is a bit like a sampler for the experimental electronica genre.
