Welcome to the Kaleidiscope blog, discussing music past and present. The blog is an attempt to promote discourse about music between generations.
In our blogs we will review new music, do deep dives into classic pop songs, among many other things. If you want to stay up-to-date with the best new releases, the latest controversies and occasionally take a trip down memory lane, then this blog is for you!
A Night Out with… Durand Jones & The Indications
Valentine’s Day in Paris did not disappoint as Indiana soul revivalists Durand Jones & The Indications performed in front of a raucous Paris crowd. Drummer/singer Aaron Frazer went so far as to call it a ‘hometown gig’ to thunderous applause.
A Night Out with… Raye
About three years ago I saw an up-and-coming Raye support SZA on her European tour. On Wednesday, the South London artist performed a fabulous live show for a sold out Hallenstadion in Zürich. In 2026, Raye is ready to establish herself as one of pop’s shining lights.
A Night Out with… Somebody’s Child
Up-and-coming Irish indie rock band Somebody’s Child treated the Zurich audience to a magnificent night out and lived up to high expectations. Led by fantastic frontman Cian Godfrey, the band’s sound was elevated to new heights in the live setting.
A Night Out with… Johnny Marr
Throughout this 90 minute set Johnny proved that it would indeed have been possible to imagine The Smiths without Morrissey’s vocals, distinctive and legendary though they are – for Johnny Marr over the course of his post-Smiths career has turned into a fine and note perfect lead singer, which we were privileged to witness here on a rare visit to Zurich cover.
A Night Out with… King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse
We were spoiled by not one, not two, but three gigs in three consecutive nights in Zurich, as King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse came to town.
A Night Out with… Inhaler
Inhaler and Blossoms teamed up to provide an evening of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment as they dazzled the Zürich crowd with their catchy hooks, riffs and licks and irresistible confidence.
