I know it's a cliche, but sometimes it's really strange to think how quickly time goes. The 14th of January next year will bring around the eighth anniversary of this gig. Eight years - that is a long time! In that time I have moved house three times, almost completed an undergraduate degree and had three different jobs...but I can still remember this show vividly.

A Step Back in Time Part 6: Incubus
A Step Back in Time Part 5: Biffy Clyro
Those of you who know me would have known this was coming at some point!
For me, the hardest part about writing about a Biffy Clyro show is choosing one (At the last count my tally of Biffy shows was just entering double figures.)
So, which one have I chosen I can hear you ask? Was it the show in 2007 with the mighty Frank Turner? Was it the show in 2004 when they supported Hundred Reasons and quite frankly blew them off the stage?

A Step Back in Time Part 4: Mogwai
A bit of a change of style for my next 'ASBIT' as this week features post-rock pioneers Mogwai.

In hindsight, I'm not even too sure why
A Step Back in Time Part 3: Bad Religion
It's over 4 years on from this gig and I still cant believe how lucky I am to be in the position to say "I saw Bad Religion at the Academy 2." Now This might not mean a lot to most people, but to me it is still difficult to comprehend. 
Bad religion are a legendary punk band, there is no other way to describe them. They have been cranking out material since 1980 and boast and impressive back catalogue of classic punk rock albums. They have also toured the world over and inspired a countless number of other bands.
A Step Back in Time Part 1: Weezer
Ive decided to start my reflective gigography with a show that I still consider to be one of my favourites of all time.
It was in 2002 and (for those of you that know Weezer) it was the tour for the Green Album. 
Well, it was supposed to be but the original show at the Que Club (don't know if this venue still exists!)was cancelled and eventually moved to a bigger venue. In this transitional period, Weezer suddenly became huge off the success of the Green Album and by the time this tour
