Field Music @ Scala, March 3rd.
If you’ve heard Field Music’s new album Field Music (Measure) then you’ll realise why we were so excited to check out Sunderland’s brothers Brewis and co live in London this week. It’s a phenomenally rewarding listen with more influences than you can shake a stick at. Prince and The Beatles side by side shouldn’t necessarily work but with a little bit of Northern magic and elbow grease it does just that. // more

Veronica Falls @ White Heat, March 2nd.
Last night tasty new Londoners Veronica Falls supported like minded Brooklynites Dum Dum Girls at the White Heat night in Madame Jojo’s. We were on hand to witness their fuzzy guitared, harmonious, pop noir ramblings.
For Fans Of: Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts, Trailer Trash Tracy’s. // more

Dum Dum Girls, Yuck @ Old Blue Last, Feb 24th
Tonight was a tale of three halves: Yuck, La La Vasquez and Dum Dum Girls. One of the halves didn’t fit you see and we’ll give you a clue which one it was: La La Vasquez. We’re rarely harsh on these pages but we hope for their own sake this isn’t the day job. Otherwise though the night went stormingly in the tropical temperatures of The Old Blue Last.

Girls @ Scala, Feb 23rd.
Girls won us over hook, line and sinker last year with their heartfelt West Coast pop and occasional but startlingly convincing forays into shoegaze. All was and is accompanied by Christopher Owens’ tales of love, always love. Among those captivated by the band’s debut were the NME who made the band headliners of one of their NME Awards Tour shows despite no actual award. So what would the kids think? Would there be any there?
