Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead

Monday 28th November
Unknown Mortal Orchestra @ XOYO

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "Little Blu House" by fatpossum

Fiendishly catchy, with one of the more awesome drummers we've heard in quite a while, if you ever managed to hybridise Ariel Pink, Beck and Captain Beefheart, then the beast would probably sound like Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Thursday 1st December
Superchunk @ The Scala

Superchunk - Foolish by mskulpas

Almost like the living avatars of US indie rock, Superchunk have been making good-time, fist-pumping rock since before Jimmy Eat World even thought about picking up a guitar, and what's more they've done it without signing to a major label.

Friday 2nd December
Proper Ornaments @ The Shacklewell

The Proper Ornaments - Recalling by neumagazine

A vehicle for James' from Veronica Falls more kraut-rock leanings, The Proper Ornaments makes feel-good, psychedelic indie pop that floats you down some strange, extra-terrestrial river and leaves you in a very happy place.
