The Sounds live at Electric Ballroom, lead singer Maja really knows how to get a crowd going. This was a pretty ace show with Matt and Kim supporting and the fact that photographers got to stay in the photopit to enjoy the show ^_^ This show was nice and pumped, was nicer hearing the set after their latest sophomore album, Crossing The Rubicon was out. The highlight was most likely when they brought up a dude on stage to play the cowbell but he was all kinds of horrific in terms of whacking the cowbell in beat, I think he was a bit too excited. Lots of posing, jumping and dancing on stage (lame review i know! but hey, i hate writing with so little time available)
The entire morning before the show I was whistling to tunes from Noble Beast, Andrew Bird can produce some contagious whistling melodies that you can’t stop replicating. I won tickets to see Andrew Bird since the tickets were quite pricey (got to love free tickets). The show was quite remarkable mainly because he came fully equipped with the full band 
Bishop Allen playing a nice cosy gig at Bardens Boudoir, the stage was nice and low and the band were in a grabable distance (not that you would mind).
Keyboard smashing, disco making Au Revoir Simone played an awesome sold out show at the Bush Hall. Quite a tantalising set from the 3 beautiful and friendly ladies who just got back from touring Sweden.

This was quite a mini gig venture since my idea for the evening was to head down to Nando’s for some chicken, but having some free live music before that adds the cherry on top. Me and Anika went to Pure Groove to check out Josh Weller who was doing an instore there, I met up with some Patrick Wolf fans who were at the Selfridges gig, that was ace.
Here’s Lisa Hannigan live at Union Chapel
After a fun browse at my flickr accounts, I’ve notice a recurring pattern in one my favourite artists, St Vincent, whenever she tours around the place…
She’s wearing the same top blue and red top! Rather than thinking she doesn’t believe in the launderette I’m simply under the impression that she just about 8 of the same outfit for when she gigs. Anyway, here’s a slew of photos, all taken from different photographers (who are amazing btw), you can include my one too from ICA (look up) too:
