Review: Here We Go Magic @ Hoxton B&G, Sep 7th.
Despite being fans of Here We Go Magic since picking up a promo of ‘Fangela’ from the band’s 2009 eponymous debut, we’d annoyingly managed to miss the bands numerous live performances rather prolifically up until yesterday. Last night though all was finally set right in Hoxton Bar & Grill, a regular haunt for us and Spectrals (who also opened up for Harlem) of late. So, how would Here We Go Magic fare with the weight of their new Thom Yorke seal of approval on their shoulders? // more

Review: Harlem @ Hoxton B&K, Aug 23rd.
The world needs more bands like Harlem. On Monday the Austin garage-punk 3-piece proved yet again that America is leading the way when it comes to exciting new bands, especially it would seem when it comes to playing live which the yanks seem to relish far more than us spotlight shy Brits. Monday night shows are always tame though right? Not exactly. // more

Review: Field Day, July 31st 2010 @ Victoria Park, London.
The rain stayed away and the time clashes proved only fairly merciless (Atlas Sound/Caribou) for what was all in all a killer day in the sun at Field Day in Victoria Park. Music came courtesy of London’s promoting elite: Eat Your Own Ears, Bugged Out, Bloggers Delight, Village Mentality/Quietus, Adventures In The Beetroot Field, XOYO and The Lock Tavern. Some PICS and words on our PICKS after the jump… // more

Beach House @ Shepherds Bush Empire, Nov 23rd.
What? Baltimore’s finest export aside from The Wire, Beach House, play their biggest London headline show to date at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire this November. They’ve spent years slowly building a fan base (remember that?) and supporting the likes of Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes and far less impressive bands. Times change though and Beach House’s third album (first for Bella Union in the UK) ‘Teen Dream’ has rightly propelled them into the limelight.
For Fans Of: Air, Grizzly Bear, Holly Miranda. // more
