Crystal Stilts @ Brixton Windmill, Feb 13th.
Crystal Stilts are over from NYC for their first show in the UK. Their debut album alight of night which was out last year is a real grower. Sure it sounds like it was recorded in a dustbin but has some great tunes behind the echoes. The best description I’ve heard so far is ‘like joy division underwater’! (thanks ffrenchie) Snap these up quick only 20 more available online at last check. // more

Little Joy @ Dingwalls, Jan 21st.
What? Little Joy. My first big gig of January comes in the shape of Little Joy who are Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti’s side project featuring the multi instrumentalist and Nico sounding Binki Shapiro and Devendra Banhart collaborator Rodrigo Amarante also of Los Hermanos. Their eponymous debut album is a very laid back and pleasurable listen. // more

The Hold Steady @ The Roundhouse, Dec 17th.
What? The Hold Steady. Craig Finn and his Brooklyn boys are in town this coming week to play a rescheduled date from March which was postponed due to illness. Aside from illness the band have had a great year with their album ‘Stay Postitve’ finally breaking them into the big time ( a good or bad thing we will see) with rave reviews both here and across the Atlantic. // more
