That’s the excellent video for Spector’s new single ‘Chevy Thunder’. Their dates at 100 Club sold out in a day but a handful of tickets have been made available now. Snap them up HERE.

We welcome back Arthur Beatrice and their Open Assembly show next Tuesday. For anybody looking to dig a little further into this band’s soon to flower repetoire, check out this excellent live session…

Arthur Beatrice - Charity

Only two shows this week but two that are raising the temperature already. Here are our gigs of the week:

Loney Dear - Monday - Bush Hall

We are hugely excited to present Loney Dear at Bush Hall - returning after his beautiful set towards the end of last year. This time he brings a full band in tow (for the first time since 2008) and that qualifies this show as doubly-unmissable. There are some tickets left for anybody with no plans tonight.

Baxter Dury - Thursday - XOYO

Baxter Dury’s Happy Soup is one of our favourite records of the past couple of years and we are eagerly anticipating this sold-out soireé at XOYO. The record is a bit of a word of mouth hit and we expect those mouths to all be singing along on Thursday night.

Here’s a late-week treat for anybody planning to catch up on some new music this weekend - a Spotify guide to the next couple of months of EYOE shows. The mix takes in the new pop aural delights of Charli XCX and Sleigh Bells who play together soon, the heartfelt swoon of Loney Dear (who is with us next Monday!) as well as a tiny highlight from Kindness (pictured).

EYOE FEB/MARCH MIX

Pitchfork just dropped a Best New Music on the excellent new Grimes record Visions. They also caught up with her for a very interesting chat, touching on gender, her use of voice and philosophy! Take a read HERE.

Here’s a wow-inducing premiere fresh from the Field Day blog. Revere playing with Mali legend Toumani Diabaté and covering a modern classic. Watch above and admire the beauty.

Here’s another new vid from Niki and the Dove who return to play for us again this week after wow-ing us at the Sebright last week. This is one of our favourite Niki songs so far, so very pleased to see it get the audio-visual treatment.

The new Grimes record has attracted a healthy new sum of fans to her bizzaro world pop-jams - a very good thing in our books. The album is one of our favourites of the year (make sure to check out late-album highlight ‘Skin’!) and is now streaming for your pleasure at NPR - the album stream website de jour.
