There’s nothing quite like an acoustic session on a Tuesday morning and this Trophy Wife performance for Mahogany blog is no exception with some violin and soft drumming. Take a look ahead of their EYOE performance at The Wheelbarrow this week.

Teaser for the new single out on Moshi Moshi Records very soon!

We have three free gigs next week (little bit of a tongue twister) and each one looks great.

Koudlam – Old Blue Last – Wednesday 2nd March

Trophy Wife – The Wheelbarrow – Thursday 3rd

Visions of Trees – Macbeth – Thursday 3rd

So three of the best upcoming bands making waves right now, and completely free, just head on over to our event page on our website and download your ticket/s!

We have up-and-coming producer Seams supporting Gold Panda next weekend, and we thought we’d treat you to a stream of a song from his recent E.P. It has the same kind of glitch to it as Gold Panda, but maybe pushes melody even more, with a lot of nice depth. Listen below.

Hung Markets by seams

Check out this very entertaining session with Martin Creed for The Guardian. Really into his post-punk sounding ‘Thinking/Not Thinking’ too. Something straight out of Gang of Four/Wire territory and we like it. The man plays for us next week.

ROUNDHOUSE RISING – DOORS 7:30 – The Roundhouse

(PRIZES / GHOST EYES / TEETH OF THE SEA)

Tonight is the Eat Your Own Ears programmed night at the Roundhouse Rising festival, showing the hottest upcoming talent in the UK in one of London’s finest venues. We are very excited about our line-up, Prizes played for us at last years Field Day Festival, Ghost Eyes recently supported Gold Panda on tour and Teeth of the Sea have plaudits from BBC 6 Music to The Quietus, so all of these bands are proving themselves already. Come and see them take the next step.

OYA FESTIVAL AND FIELD DAY PRESENT – DOORS 8:00 – XOYO

(FICTION / LUCY SWANN / TEAM ME)

Two of the most carefully and interestingly programmed festivals in Europe come together to programme a special night of music from the UK and Norway. Fiction have been one of the hottest live acts of the past year and continue to go from strength to strength and Lucy Swann has captured the hearts of Norway with her extraordinary live performances and big pop songs – she looks destined to continue the strong line of Scandinavian Pop, passed down by Lykke Li and Robyn.

LYLE AND SCOTT PRESENTS – DOORS 8:00 – XOYO

(CLOCK OPERA / MAY 68 / I ONLY DATE MODELS)

The recent Lyle and Scott shows have been one of the hottest tickets in town, and they continue to present yet more brilliant talent in XOYO tonight. Clock Opera is a superb one man band signed to Moshi Moshi, they play alongside May 68 – yet another exciting band to come out of the exploding Manchester scene. Opening will be Lyle and Scott competition winners I Only Date Models who will be looking to impress all with their brand of universal indie music.
