Tuesday 26th July

Candyman by These Are Powers
Thursday 29th July
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Heaven
Borrowing a leaf out of the North American lo-fi indie rock movement (think Pavement, Fugazi et all), The Pains of Being Pure at Heart sound like they'd be quite at home in the early nineties.
02. Come Saturday by DJmadam
Friday 30th July
Dum Dum Girls @ Cargo
A whirlwind of snarling post-punk basslines, choppy guitars and vocal melodies reminiscent of big-haired '60s girl’s groups, Dum Dum Girls sound like a meeting between Mika Miko and The Shangri-Las, who thankfully steer clear of that whole Bom-ba-Bom Bom drum beat that everyone seems to rip-off.
