    Lawrence Arabia – Apple Pie Bed

    Lawrence Arabia is the best New Zealand export since Flight of The Concords of course and less obviously The Ruby Suns, who incidentally Lawrence Arabia or James Milne if you prefer, used to play with. James has also played with the likes of Feist, Okkervil River and a handful of NZ based acts. What’s it sound like then? Off kilter, psychedelic pop music mostly.

    For Fans Of: Brian Wilson, Beck, The Ruby Suns.

    Fool’s Gold @ Madame Jojo’s, Jan 26th.

    What? If you’re at a loose end tomorrow then head on down to one of our favourite club nights, White Heat, to see L.A. band Fool’s Gold who have been taking the capital by storm recently. They’ve been likened in the Guardian to what Talking Heads would have sounded like if they had listened to African music instead of funk. Oh and their lyrics are in Hebrew. We loved them at SXSW last year.

    For Fans Of: Talking Heads, Tiniwaren, Vampire Weekend. // more
