The giggles

Here is a recommendation of some amazing gigs coming up over the next few months. If you are not planning on going to any festivals and just sitting the summer out then you must certainly go and see these gigs.

1.Dan Deacon with Wham City Ensemble at ULU
Dan Deacon, Adventure, Future Islands, Teeth Mountain ULU

This guy makes amazing parties happen. I cant express. You have to see him to believe him.

Ben is a big fan of the Chad Van and his one man band is sure to impress.

3. ATP Presents: Grizzly Bear + support TBC at Koko
Grizzly Bear
Tuesday 18 August 2009
I have been a fan of these guys for ages now and have always wished to see them live. Expect to get very lost in the sonic world they create.

4. The Dodos at the Bush Hall
Thursday 3 September 2009
A brilliant new album from a band that seemlessly mix indie pop with unusual time signitures and wonky stick percussion. Boyish lead vocals and beautiful key changes mark these guys out from the rest of the scene.

5. Mumford and Sons at Scala
Wednesday 16 September 2009
After a failed attempt to see them some months ago due to the bands illness im really excited to see them finally. its a shame the scala is quite a large venue as i was looking forward to watching them in more intimate surroundings but beggars cant be choosers! So keen for thier album.



I have put all the gigs up on my last.fm events page so its dead easy to get some more details on them. Sorry for everyone not in London but check to see if they are playing near you!
