Review of: Fabchannel.com

5/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 20 Jul 2007

Fabchannel.com is one of those sites that makes you wonder how we ever lived without the Web. It's a video archive of hundreds of live concerts recorded at the Paradiso and Melkweg venues in Amsterdam. The shows are incredibly professionally filmed (this isn't someone in the crowd with a camcorder) so you have a great sense of being there (as much as you can watching a web replay) whilst also being able to hear the sound very clearly.

Most of the gigs in the archive are from smaller, up and coming bands, which makes it a great way of discovering new music. Current shows scoring well in the Fabchannel charts come from artists and bands like Bloc Party, Cold War Kids, Damien Rice, Andrew Bird and The Arcade Fire. And it's all free. Brilliant.
