Wolf Gang, Darwin Deez @ Madame Jojo’s, March 9th.
What? White Heat present what could be one of the gigs of the year featuring Music Mule favourites from 2009, London’s own Wolf Gang who we already know is magnificent but perhaps most excitingly Brooklyn’s hipster indie pop dance machine Darwin Deez who made one of our top five records of last year but is a bit of an unknown (at least to these shores) and perhaps volatile quantity live.
For Fans Of: Talking Heads, Pavement, The Cure. // more

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

Yacht @ Madame Jojo’s, Oct 13th.
What? Those nice White Heat guys have booked YACHT to play a late night live set at their weekly club night in Soho. YACHT is Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans of Marfa, Texas and Portland, Oregon, USA. They’re signed to DFA, are tour mates of LCD Soundsystem and have a pleasing new album out called See Mystery Lights which has been featured on Pitchfork’s ‘Best New Music’ recently.
For Fans Of: LCD Soundsystem, Friendly Fires, The Blow. // more

The Antlers @ Lexington, Sep 4th.
What? White Heat presents: 12 Dirty Bullets, The Antlers. The Antlers are from Brooklyn and have recently released their debut album ‘Hospice’ through French Kiss/Orchard. It was out towards the end of last year in the States and has been building them a small army of fans ever since. Fragile guitar music and achingly beautiful high vocals building into powerful crescendos of noise. They’re in town for a handful of dates.
For Fans Of: The Walkmen, Local Natives, Bon Iver. // more
