White Lies
Gig Of The Week 1: Underage Club @ Scala

Oh, to be young again! Under 18 special featuring some of 2008′s best artists, and some great picks for the coming year. Headlining are the excellent White Lies, who have to be the favourite in the recent BBC Sound of 2009 longlist. Backing them are the immense Metronomy, currently riding high in the cumulative Best of 2008 charts. Also on the bill are the great live act Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, whilst the eclectic mix is topped off with Rolo Tomassi. Head down to Scala early on Saturday as things kick off at around 2pm, if you’re young enough that is.

White Lies – Death

Metronomy – A Thing For Me

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip – The Beat That My Heart Skipped

Golden Silvers – Magic Touch

Laura Marling
Gig Of The Week 2: Fee Fie Foe Fum @ Cargo

Fantastic folky sorts populate Cargo on Tuesday as Laura Marling headlines a strong line up including Jay Jay Pistolet and Johnny Flynn, in celebration of the Fee Fie Foe Fum tour, which many of the artists present took to the USA earlier this year. Somewhat unsurprisingly due to Marling’s ever-growing popularity this is well sold out. But – if you have a chance to pick up spares by hook or crook this could be one of the last great shows of 2008.

Laura Marling – Night Terror

Mumford & Sons -Roll Away Your Stone

Johnny Flynn – Cold Bread

Jay Jay Pistolet – Holly

Gig Of The Week: Genghis Tron, Behold The Arctopus, Rolo Tomassi, The Network – The Underworld

Prepare for supreme noise making at Underworld on Saturday as Americans Genghis Tron follow up their European stint with The Faint with a short UK tour. Backed by a multi-talented string of bands, not least Sheffield stars Rolo Tomassi (for the London show only), the potential of this night is stellar. This amazing line up is unbelievably not sold out – and under a tenner face value!

Some crackers out this week, topped by Brighton’s Blood Red Shoes. Their album was leaked so long ago it barely feels like a new release, but has the advantage of borne out repeated plays. Elsewhere the biggest release has to be The B-52′s first studio album in 16 years. Perhaps surprisingly, it still sounds fresh and well, good. I Am Kloot attempt to atone for their simply God-awful Gods And Monsters and Forward, Russia release the follow up to the excellent Give Me A Wall. Sonic Youth release the 7th in their occasional series of experimental works entitled J’accuse Ted Hughes, available as a 12″ only. Elsewhere, The Accidental is well worth a listen as is the second release from Frightened Rabbit.

Frightened Rabbit - Head Rolls Off

Feb 282008

Lead single from the Glaswegian group’s second LP The Midnight Organ Fight, due April 15 on the FatCat label. A great slab of good auld Scotch indie, very much in the vein of The Twilight Sad or reflecting Idlewild’s calmer moments. The single is up for grabs from March 3.
