MOJO Bar - Music for the people

Tweet Josh Rouse is one of those talented souls destined to forever play the fringes. He’s been a constant on Mojo playlists since the early part of this decade but our constant championing  has made little difference. He has a similar work ethic to Ryan Adams, writing and recording seemingly constantly and throwing out smooth [...]

Tweet Just how selfish are music fans? I was flicking through the pages of one of the more sensible music mag’s that adorn the walls of the newsagents of this land when I alighted upon a readers letter. Within this letter were the complaints of an ‘Avid Elbow fan’. I paraphrase his argument thus ‘I’ve [...]

Tweet After finally getting annoyed enough by Stephen Patrick Morrissey to terminate The Smiths at the height of their powers in 1987, Johnny Marr has roamed the planet looking for a suitable berth for both he and his jangling axe to call home. He became guitarist for hire, lending his talents to Talking Heads, The The, [...]

Tweet So yesterday was a bit special in OSA world. Firstly we found out that we had won Steve Lamacq’s rebel playlist with a whooping 81% of the vote against The Holloways and The Futureheads, which was an amazing moment. This means we get played on 6 Music everyday. We felt very proud of our song! [...]

Tweet Hello One and All, It’s Lawrence Diamond here. I worked at Mojo Leeds for 3 years back in my heady student days before leaving a couple of years ago to go to the big bad smoke with my band Official Secrets Act. After a summer living above Mojo Manchester writing songs and drinking to [...]

Tweet TV on the Radio’s previous output was perhaps easier to admire than to like or love. With genre labels like experimental rock, post rock or even art rock thrown at them, they were unlikely ever to find a mainstream audience with their at times almost aloof sound. While hardly making a leap for the Kaiser Chief, David Siteks [...]

Tweet Is it worth criticising Kings of Leon? Certainly not within the walls of a Mojo. In my nine year stay/sentence I’ve never seen a collection of records unite both worker and drinker quite like the quartet produced by the followhills. With no real hit singles to speak of their unerring rise from poor cousin [...]

Tweet If you’ve ever been to the site before, you may notice that things are looking a ‘little’ different around here… Welcome to the all new MOJO website! The aim of the new site is to really involve you lot in MOJO and everything that’s happening in the bars as much as possible (without actually [...]

Tweet Today is Thursday 23rd October and today we not only open a MOJO in Liverpool but we also launch our new and improved website so in the words of Guy Garvey….’One Day Like This!’ Liverpool is the Capital of Culture in 2008 so to be opening now is very special. Not only has the [...]
