Kurt Vile @ The Lexington, Dec 15th.
What? Kurt Vile the Constant Hitmaker from Philadelphia comes to town to play with his band the Violators. We can’t stress how excited we are about this one. Kurt Vile is set to release his second album ‘Childish Prodigy’ later in October, it’s his first for his new label Matador and it’s undoubtedly one of our most anticipated releases of the year.

The xx @ Shepherds Bush Empire, March 3rd.
What? The xx are undoubtedly South London’s band of the moment. Their self titled debut has taken the indie music world and beyond by storm and quite rightly so as it’s f**king excellent! The band only played their first headline shows in London earlier this year and now they’re playing the mammoth Empire. Let’s hope their sharp rise to fame hasn’t left them giddy.
For Fans Of: Early Cure, Young marble Giants, Aaliyah. // more

Girls @ Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, Oct 20th.
What? Girls. We just saw San Francisco’s Girls for the first time at The Lexington playing songs from their upcoming debut long player cunningly titled ‘Album’. Album is a great record full of hazy West Coast Pop, rock’n'roll, and even a bit of shoegaze type action. It’s cool and laid back just as the band were live. What they lack in stage energy is made up for by the beautiful noise they create.
For Fans Of: The Smith Westerns, Spiritualised, Elvis Costello. // more

The Soft Pack @ Camden Barfly, Nov 5th.
What? San Diego’s The Soft Pack return for what’s currently a one off London date and one of only three across the whole UK. One of our favourite bands to emerge in 2009 and their show in Hoxton earlier this year was one of our live highlights too. We’ve seen them a handful of times since then and their surf-punk swagger has yet to disappoint live.
For Fans Of: The Stooges, The Strokes, The Stones. // more
