The Major Key

Gig(s…I’m cheating) Of The Week:

Patrick Wolf – London Astoria, April 11
The ever-amazing Patrick Wolf gives London a little exclusive to promote new (and hilarious) album/single ‘The Magic Position’. Expect a lot of sexual rubbings on stage in rains of glitter. Should be mesmerising.

An Evening With Peter Doherty, Hackney Empire, London, April 11/12
Will Carl turn up? Will Carl turn up? WILL CARL TURN UP?!
No.

Bands You Need In Your Life:

A Woman Of No Importance (Awoni)

Recently disbanded acoustic & strings outfit from Seaham Harbour, North East England. Every single song is a stand out and despite the Belle & Sebastian highjinks last year, I now regard them as the best live band I have any seen. And I’ve seen a fair few. They’re spilt was a horrible day.
