Caribou are back! We are happy to announce the return of Caribou for Eat Your Own Ears in February. The above video is a lovely piece shot at our the gig we hosted at Heaven a little while ago.

We’re excited about Born Ruffians now. The band have been taking the UK by storm the past few days and they bring their amazing show to London tonight. Their brand of light guitar music recalls the pixies and has the kind of choruses that will definitely fill the Scala in a huge way. Watch the video for I Need A Life – this is the one we’re looking forward to hearing raise the roof.
