Video of the Day - Bat For Lashes
Lovely song and video from Natasha Khan written about me ;)
You can catch her at The Forum on 29th October - I would love to go but it's just a bit steep for me.

Haim at Dingwalls
About three weeks ago I went to see Haim at Dingwalls in Camden.
I had FOMO after not making it to see them at Shacklewell Arms a few weeks earlier and high expectations, heightened by my tiredness - "better be good but not last too long and I better not be stuck behind any tall people".
Dingwalls filled up to the brim but luckily I had a really good, not too getting crushed spot on the second level up +8. Haim came onto the stage and immediately impressed playing tracks from their EP and a few others in between. They endeared themselves to the crowd - the gig was a big deal to them and they were humble despite the hype, obviously totally into what they do and appreciative of the break. +5
I must have got semi-bored however as I found myself analysing whether the sisters fit prototype personality types - there seemed to be the joker youngest sister, slightly awkward, nice middle child and more serious, older sister lead singer.
I was starting to think "yeah this is good but not sure they are as good as the buzz" -2 but it picked up again when their mum and dad came on stage and performed "Mustang Sally" - a feel good moment though slightly on the cheese fest side. +1
Overall it was an enjoyable gig in a good venue with some decent chat and clearly a nice, talented bunch of sisters a bit cooler than Hanson.

Gig Preview: Peggy Sue in Dalston
This sounds goooooood:
To celebrate the release of their new Album, Peggy Sue will perform two very special half hour performances of Peggy Sue Play the Songs of Scorpio Rising.
Playing the album in its entirety with projected visual accompaniment, the performance will take place in the suitably industrial setting of a surviving WW2 underground bunker – untouched for over 60 years.
Tickets n more deets here
