Lovebox @ Victoria Park, July 18th-19th
What? Lovebox Festival. Groove Armada curate the Lovebox Weekender in my backyard, Victoria Park. It was apparently voted best medium sized UK festival last year. There are weekend or day tickets available. I think I’m going to go just for the Saturday on the strength of the line up confirmed so far. Ladyhawke on Sunday could be fun too though. // more

On Repeat: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Dull Life
Damn it’s exciting, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album ‘It’s Blitz!’ is out on April 13th and we get it a day before the US for some reason.

Review: Wild Beasts @ 93 Feet East, Feb 24th.
Unlike at The Walkmen on Friday there was no big queue to be met outside the Wild Beasts show at 93 Feet East in Brick Lane yesterday evening, in fact to the unsuspecting eye you’d never even have guessed there was a gig going on. It’s not a sign of the lack of popularity of the bands playing but the opposite. You see the lineup tonight from start to finish this is top-drawer stuff so everyone’s inside early with bums on limited seats. // more
