London Live: 20-27 October
Gig Of The Week: Mogwai, Fuck Buttons & Errors
A stellar post-rock lineup this Friday at Hammersmith’s venerable Apollo. Though The Hawk Is Howling is a little hard work Mogwai still have a live reputation that is untarnished. If they needed any encouragement to be on top form, there’s the potential for an upstaging from both bands. Bristol’s Fuck Buttons have produced a fantastic record in Street Horrrsing, and are a live draw on their own. Mogwai’s Glaswegian labelmates Errors complete the bill, and with tracks like Salut! France and National Prism look set to win some new friends. Obviously this is largely sold out, but I think there are a few seats left…
Mogwai – Hunted By A Freak (Live)
Fuck Buttons – Ribs Out
Errors – Cutlery Drawer
