The Shows list is back, just in time for you all to pencil in those all important dates you absolutely can not miss, I know there are definitely a fair few for myself this month… Gosh, it’s all so bloody exciting!
The Excitiement, for myself, begins tomorrow! The Duke Spirit playing at Cockpit. Yay! Leeds is only 1 of the select few, 6 dates they will be playing in their Europe, March 2012 tour. So be sure to get yourself down there to show your support and get your bluesy, punk FIX. Saturday, The Cribs at Leeds Met SU, this is going to be so super fun and exciting! Also being supported by This Many Boyfriends, who received a fantabulous review from The Met Online reviewer Hayley Scott, when they supported Allo Darlin’ on Sunday… moving on to bigger and better things!
Next week looks to be a week of folkey delights, expect a review on Cass McCombs at Brudenell Social Club on the 4th, to be popping up in the days that follow… On the 5th get yourself to Hyde Park Picture House for A Hack and A Hacksaw, who will be presenting a live score of Soviet director Sergio Paradjanov’s classic film SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS, I predict this is going to be a fantastic performance in a lovely and unusual setting, a wonderful way to spend ones evening. Then on the 6th an (almost) midweek tantalisation from Laura Marling at The O2, with support from Canadian Folk band Timber Timbre, who I am looking forward to seeing with equal anticipation.
At the moment everything is completely overshadowed with the exuberant, delighted, “she’s a bit weird”, feelings I am experiencing about the end of this month. Again, brought to us by Brudenell Social Club, who seem to persistently pull it of the bag! Labeled as “Wild Miami Rockers”, Jacuzzi Boys,who simply describe themselves as rock’n'roll, will be gracing the Brudenell with their presense on the 26th. I know from the shows they have done in the US with the likes of Davilla 666, they will be crazy and impulsive and perhaps at times inappropriate, in only the best ways possible. Then ending the month on an ultimate high with Mystery Jets. It’s so great that these guys are playing the Brudenell, the intimate venue will make this performance so special for any avid fans, lucky enough to bag themselves a ticket… So on that note, ROLL ON MARCH!
