Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead


Monday 9th May

Sonny and the Sunsets @ The Lexington

OK, so we've all heard this whole lo-fi/beach-pop stuff like a zillion times since 2008, but Sonny and the Sunsets do it with such a massive smile on their faces that we can't help but like them.

Jonquil @ The Old Blue Last

A gang of Oxford based experimentalists who cite Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac and Chic as influences, Jonquil are like Fleet Foxes if they were into taking mushrooms on Mars.

Wednesday 11th May
Cerebral Ballzy @ St Moritz

Hard-partying kids from Brooklyn, Cerebral Ballzy have become one of the biggest names in hardcore recently, thanks to kick-ass live show and a sound that really reminds us of Suicidal Tendencies and Bad Brains in their thrashing days.
