Shred Your Face at Camden Electric Ballroom, London 20 October
It’s a rainy Monday night and the self styled “Shred Your Face†tour rolls into Camden town for what is surely the biggest gig of the jaunt.
First on to an already pretty packed venue is Times New Viking who impress those who made the effort to come early. The band seem to take a particular perverse joy in creating glorious pop songs almost of the Belle and Sebastian variety and then smothering them with walls of feedback, splashy cymbals and fuzzed out vocals so that the listener has to almost decipher those gorgeous melodies.
It’s not for the cock, it’s for being Totally Bone.

Dananananaykroyd, Johnny Foreigner/ Madame JoJo’s/ 30.09.08
It’s not often one sees a line up so simply perfect as tonight’s. A band whose recent debut can be expected to flutter around top twenty lists across the internet come this December and another who are going to find it difficult not to take over the world in the next two years if certain sources are to be believed. More >

Holy Fuck/Kelpe- Kings College London 18 October
The first time INFTC saw Holy Fuck, it was as a barely advertised add-on band in a sweaty, dirty nightclub to a few gurning clubbers who had lost their mates on the way to the bar. Now, a year on, it’s perhaps a little surprising that the band have sold out a headline show at the relatively large Kings College Union. They may not boast the hits or even accessibility of many of their contemporaries, but one thing is clear when seeing them live- they are certainly interesting and experimental enough to hold attention unwaveringly.
It’s not for the cock, it’s for hitting the nail on the head.

Nail The Cross, 27.09.08
It’s that magical time of year again, when the students of the country are riding high on a new injection of what feels like free money, the sun is still shining and in East London there are the hippest of events to attend. Being added to the list this year is New Cross’ ‘Nail The Cross’ festival, a mix of art, music and barbeque filled beer gardens. More >

Rolo Tomassi/Mirror! Mirror! @ The Old Blue Last, London, Monday 22 Sept
Tonight is the launch night for “Hysterics”, the debut album from Sheffield noise psychopaths Rolo Tomassi and promises to be a well deserved celebration gig for the band. It’s a Monday night but any wet blankets are left out of mind; it’s trendy London and it’s free so, along with the fact that Rolo Tomassi are starting to whip up a bit of a media storm around them right now, the venue is absolutely packed- from the front to back of the room, up and down the stairs and spilling out into the smoky streets- there’s a real buzz of genuine excitement rippling about the place.
