![]() And then I had a patient come in, who was a classic insomniac. “I used to think there were only early bird and night owl. “I used to think that there were only two chronotypes myself,” says sleep specialist and best-selling author Dr. Sleep hacking tips: 7 ways to maximize your Zzzzz's 7 photos In fact, buying into it may actually be hurting our health. However, one of the nation’s leading sleep experts suggests that this prevalent belief is not entirely accurate. That theory has been around for ages, and lots of us probably identify with one of those two categories. Guitar writing wise, however, I guess I could probably say my biggest influences are Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, Billy Corgan and although she’s a bassist, Pixies’ Kim Deal’s simplistic yet genius playing style inspired me from a very young age.Most people have traditionally believed that there are two sorts of sleepers: early birds and night owls. If something stirs an emotion in me, whatever the genre, I’ll dig it. I’m well into dance and old skool hip hop also. Due to my family’s generational hand me down box of vinyls: Bands/artists such as The Beatles, Bowie, Bob Marley, MJ, Foo Fighters, to At the drive in, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Death from above. Influence wise, it’s hard to say as my influences range from all sorts. I’d never really done anything like that before so decided to give it a go and ended up really liking what came out. “Thanks! Yeah, the 80s thing came from a composition briefing for a film soundtrack. Your last single How She Runs was more 80’s synth rock, great song, whereas Soc Med is more 90’s post grunge, it’s nice to hear you’re so versatile with your music. I asked Meme some questions to get a better feel of what her music/influences involve. Saying that, the band as a whole ( Barney Such on Drums) and Ross Adams on bass) created an energy that filled the whole room. I must say, the songs are really quite good, but at the gig, some guitar parts were drowned so much in fuzz and distortion that it was hard to understand the songs fully. Her live set included big songs “With You” featuring Love Transcends All Again, a real powerful love song about being in love with “love.” The band, of course, featured the latest release, Soc Med Junkies which is about social media as a whole and how it controls us. With influences drawn from 90’s grunge, 80’s synth pop and indie rock, Meme’s distorted music is big. Meme released her debut album back in 2016 and has been causing quite a stir round the Birmingham music scene for quite a while. Whereas for Meme, the girl sure does bring attitude to every track the band plays. Top performance from the boys, will definitely be checking them out again for sure. Their stand out track for the show was Golden Egg with the lead guitar going through what seemed like a midi synthesiser pedal, the song had so much power. I must say, the bass line in the verses for this track is so fragile but delicate. With their set featuring tracks like We See Colour which was aggressive, it was nice to hear tracks like Not Alone with the whole arrangement of the song being delicious. I know Gaz personally, like I said, and I know how much he likes Star Wars, so I really wasn’t surprised to see a Star Wars mask on the stage while they played, just constantly staring into our souls. Gareth’s vocals were constantly on point as each song progressed. Institutes brought their theatrical side out with the theme tune of the Avengers signalling their first track. I know both bands personally so it was nice to go and do a feature on both. ![]() I went to see Meme Detroit with support from Institutes live on the 5th May at the Night Owl.
