From note 1 of song 1 to the last strains of the not-an-encore, @despjournalist.bsky.social were on superb form at a very full, very warm @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social last night. A band - a voice - that I could never tire of hearing.

From @despjournalist.bsky.social: Coming up in just over a month. @YellowArch @thehugandpint @hareandhounds @thelexington @_FiercePanda Tickets here: www.songkick.com/artists/6804...

I can never listen to this song without stopping what I’m doing, sitting down, listening and admiring its utter perfection and beauty. Jaw dropping. Can’t wait to see @despjournalist.bsky.social live again. They’re absolutely the best. youtu.be/3pjBoG3i-00?...

4 years ago we had a listening party for Grow Up by Desperate Journalist. You can replay the listening party (no_870) here:

1 week until we support Rialto at Scala! Tickets here: crosstownconcerts.seetickets.com/event/rialto...

#NowPlaying @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist - In Search Of The Miraculous (2019) I have a theory that if this band had existed 30 years earlier they would have been every bit as big as U2/Smiths/Cure/Simple Minds. Soaring goth-tinged indie capped off with Jo Bevan's commanding voice

All these bands named themselves after other people's songs www.radiox.co.uk/features/x-l...

Re-Up: Playing shows in Germany this week, here's our recent interview with London post-punk doyens DESPERATE JOURNALIST, discussing 2024s best album No Hero. Plus tour dates & ticket links : bit.ly/3WTZNli @despjournalist.bsky.social

8 years ago today we released our second album Grow Up

#albumoftheday @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist - Maximum Sorrow! (2021) I might have bought their whole back catalogue, and this 1st play suggests this is their best so far. Intense & mature post punk. Clear lineage but wonderful. Best track - Fine In The Family #NowPlaying

Wondering what our weird food quirks are? Or what audience behaviour drives us mad? We’ve answered these questions (and more) for @gigblog.bsky.social

#albumoftheday @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist (2014) Full length debut from London-based post punks. Their influences weigh heavily, but this is no criticism when their antecedents were so good. Jo Bevan's spellbinding, confident voice - WOW Best track - Nothing #NowPlaying

Desperate Journalists have ancient cell phones ... Thanks for tonight's concert at Blue Shell, Cologne. @despjournalist.bsky.social desperatejournalist.bandcamp.com/music

Can’t wait for this!

Here’s what we’ve got coming up, starting tonight!

“Desperate Journalist’s brilliance burns brighter than ever” - 1st3 Magazine’s review of our recent London gig. Take a look! www.1st3-magazine.com/desperate-jo...

First Post on BlueSky and it's for a stellar event: Live Review: London indie noir specialists DESPERATE JOURNALIST wrap up their UK tour in exhilarating style in their home city at The Garage. bit.ly/3PX8R53 @despjournalist.bsky.social

I have to be a bit selective about the gigs I go to London for, or I’d never be away. But I would always make the trip for @despjournalist.bsky.social, who were superb at The Garage on Thursday night. Incredible energy and huge songs. There’s no one quite like them!

Thank you to everyone who came to see us last night at The Garage in London. What an end to the tour! Also big thanks to @deuxfurieuses.bsky.social for supporting - how amazing were they! 📷(1) @keiraanee.bsky.social

Obligatory band pic while watching Desperate Journalist north of the river.

And then Desperate Journalist at the Garage - new tracks darker, moody and super atmospheric - topping off a fab evening 🖤🚀#Desperatejournalist

First gig of the year and it was the outstanding Desperate Journalist. Wonderful live band, the old songs and the new songs both shone. "Who here likes angst?" asked Jo... Excellent support from @deuxfurieuses.bsky.social as well.
