The Jezabels, Gauntlet Hair and The Men: Editor's Choice - Live Music
17 February, 2012
by: Domzig
Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead
Tuesday 21st February
Gauntlet Hair @ The Shacklewell Arms
Gauntlet Hair by mlonson
A couple of dudes from the Colorado town of Lafayette, Gauntlet Hair makes undeniably infectious lo-fi that mixes heavily-reverbed guitars with a simple, but undeniably booty-shaking beat. Add in some Animal Collective-style vocal melodies and you’ve got something pretty fantastic.
Wednesday 22nd February
The Jezabels @ KOKO
Mace Spray-The Jezabels by hotlunchcollective
A group of Australians whose vintage sounding indie rock slips in nicely between the Dum Dum Girls reverb-laden rock, Nick Cave's dark country and Lana Del Reys Lynchian pop, The Jezabels seem to be on a fast track to very big things indeed.
Thursday 23rd February
The Men @ CAMP
the men - Leave Home - Bataille (sacred bones records) by pdis_inpartmaint
Taking hardcore on a merry dance through noise rock, DIY, industrial and escalating post-punk experimentalism, The Men are probably the most out-there and brilliant hardcore band since the Dischord hey-day of Nation of Uylsses and Fugazi.
