Review: The Soft Pack + CHEW LiPS @ Hoxton B&G, Feb 26th.
Holy shit The Muslims were good tonight! Sorry, I mean The Soft Pack! They used to be called The Muslims you see but a few too many feathers were ruffled (probably by comments like the one I just made) for that one to last. Anyway forget the name, tonight it’s the music that is most memorable. Like anyone I’m guilty of exaggerating from time to time but to hell with it – The Soft Pack are my favourite new band. // more

YEAH YEAH YEAHS @ Shepherds Bush Empire, April 25th & 26th.
What? The wonderful, all powerful YEAH YEAH YEAHS tour in support of their forthcoming album ‘In Blitz’. Definitely one of my favourite bands and from her energy to her dress sense Karen O is an unrivalled live rock performer these days . Then you’ve got the majestic guitar of Nick Zinner and the jazz influenced drumming of Brian Chase. Perfection. Don’t miss this. // more

Women + Wavves @ The Lexington, March 3rd.
What? Upset The Rhythm presents: Women + Wavves. I saw Canadians Women supporting fellow countryman Chad Van Gaalen (also producer of their debut album) on his UK tour recently and was suitably impressed by their noisy rumblings. I clearly wasn’t the only one as they’re back with a headline tour of their own. For fans of: Animal Collective, Annuals. // more
