Underage Festival Pre-Show with Dog is Dead

Charming Nottingham 5 piece Dog is Dead have at long last put out the math-rock tinged twee single Glockenspiel Song.

With the song’s horns buzzing in your ears we’d like to call all the under 18’s to the front of the stage and invite them to a very special Underage Festival pre-party tomorrow night at the Camden Barfly. This show is for 14-17’s only so take advantage of your youth and enjoy what’s bound to be a spectacular show!

A handful of tickets still are available here.



The XX in London this September!

With the release of their brooding and beautiful new single we’re honored to announce that The XX will be with us in London on September 10th. The trio are lined up for a special album release performance at Shepards Bush Empire – the kind of show that can’t be missed. 

The pre-sale for the show begins July 25th to members of the XX’s mailing list; general sale starts on the 27th. Now while you watch the clock ticking down to Wednesday go ahead and hit play on Angels, sit back, and enjoy.



Ring in The Olympics with Martin Creed

Martin Creed, the Turner Prize winning artist and musician has spent the past weeks organizing the nationwide wake up call for the London Olympics. This coming Friday at 8:12 AM the Nation is invited to start ringing bells for a momentous three minutes. Church bells, hand bells, bicycle bells, door bells, any bell to be precise. By ringing alongside the country you will be taking part in a piece of modern art. Creed’s plan is aptly named Work No. 1197: All The Bells In A Country Rung As Quickly And Loudly As Possible For Three Minutes.

You can register to ring bells here – though registered or not, take those three minutes to ring with the country. When else will you be able to say you performed alongside Martin Creed?

Be sure to come to The Dalston Victoria on August 1st for Creed’s less bell-centric performance. Remaining tickets can be found here.
