Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead
Tuesday 17th April
Holograms @ The Old Blue Last
Holograms - ABC City by H+ Records
Harkening back to the pioneering synth pop of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, Holograms' sound distils the drudgery of dismal existence with a lust for something better; echoing both the violent abandonment of punk as well as some of the electronic gloss of early 80′s new wave.
Wednesday 18th April
Oberhofer @ CAMP
Away FRM U by Oberhofer
Beginning as the basement indie project of New Yorker Bradley Oberhofer, Oberhofer has evolved into a remarkably assured chamber pop outfit who manage to combine Wavves-like lo-fi rattle with soaring orchestral flourishes.
Friday 20th April
Dignan Porch @ The Wilmington Arms
Like it was again by Dignan Porch
One of the most musically interesting bands to emerge from the lo-fi explosion of a couple of years back, Dignan Porch almost come-across like a C86 version of Neu, brilliantly combining melancholy indie rock with eerie, haunting synth lines.
