Kraftwerk, London Tate Modern, February 8, 2013

John Mulvey Tue, 12/03/2013 - 3:42pm

Rather a long time after the event, I thought it worthwhile posting my live review of Kraftwerk at the Tate Modern (it was published in Uncut's print edition a couple of weeks ago). It was Trans Europe Express night, by the way...

Michael Bonner Tue, 12/03/2013 - 2:09pm

It’s a busy day in the Uncut office, but I’ve just time to post about the line-up that’s just been confirmed for this year’s Sundance London festival.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a week or so now, but pesky deadlines for next month’s issue of Uncut kept getting in the way. Anyway, here’s some thoughts on the trailer for the new Coen brothers film, Inside Llewyn Davis.

The Eighth Uncut Playlist Of 2013: listen to Retribution Gospel Choir, Primal Scream, White Fence

John Mulvey Wed, 20/02/2013 - 12:25pm
