FREE: The Drums @ The Flowerpot, Sept 19th.
What? The Drums. We’re as of yet undecided about new Brooklyn band The Drums but one thing is for sure and that is they are getting a lot of press right now. The fact that they’ve got upcoming releases through the excellent Moshi Moshi label and that our NYC ear on the ground tells us that they’re good value live (minus the backing singers) leads us to believe that further investigation is in order. So why not do it for free this Saturday?
For Fans Of: The Wake, The Shangri-Las, Orange Juice. // more

FREE: Beth Jeans Houghton @ Rough Trade East, Sept 16th.
What? Beth Jeans Houghton. We love BJH and her kooky folk ditties. ‘Golden’ has to be one of the tracks of the year so far. We interviewed her back in May and since then she’s gained a permanent band ‘The Hooves Of Destiny’, has released a new ‘Hot Toast Vol 1′ EP and has had a massive feature in the Observer Music Monthly. Not bad for a 19 year old from Newcastle.
For Fans Of: Vashti Bunyan, Adem, Tunng. // more

Get down to Pure Groove to see the band for free and buy a signed copy of their You Forget So Easily 10″EP which isn’t out officially till the week after.

What? The Cribs are back with a new acclaimed album, Ignore The Ignorant, out yesterday and a new permanent member in the shape of ex Smiths member, Modest Mouse cohort and all round legendary guitarist Johnny Marr.
