Here's our guide to what you need in your life this February...

Junip
1st February
The solo project of one Mr José González, Junip's influences range from Neu! all the way to John Martyn. Not one of the London gigs to skip this year!
The Vaselines

Lo-fi legends and Kurt Cobain favourites The Valeslines play songs from their new album 'Sex With An X' (Good clean smut with a twist of bitter) at XOYO this month. You know and we know that it's going to be good.

Sleigh Bells

Caribou
22nd February
The recent winner of Rough Trade Album of the Year 2010 winner, Caribou brings his remarkable blend of psychedelic 60s pop and intelligent electronica to the Shepherd's Bush Empire to close out the NME's Award Show series.
