So, in the next few weeks Lincoln see's a whole host of incredible bands descending at its doors! You owe it to yourself to make it to as many of these as you can...


- Friday 25th May - Fury Of The Headteachers w/ Rotary Ten @ Bivouac


- Friday 1st June - The Wombats w/ Aurora Stripe @ Bivouac


- Saturday 2nd June - The Whip w/ Ice Cream Social @ Pioneer Club, Drill Hall


- Thursday 7th June - Bono Must Die w/The Be Be See & I My Bike @ House Of Jealous Lovers, SoLuxe

All 100% worth your time. You should take my word for it, but i'll explain why anyway. Fury Of The Headteachers play like Bloc Party if they'd pursued deeper punk routes. They drag Interpol-style basslines kicking and screaming into a sweaty mess. The Wombats are catchy, jingle-jangle indie songs from Liverpool, but sound more akin to The Strokes, if The Strokes had a wicked sense of humour. The Whip are releasing song on Kitsune Maison, one of France's most progressive labels, which has released dancefloor-killing remixes of Bloc Party, Klaxons, and Digitalism. They tear the floor and air into tiny pieces, lace it with synths, and throw it back at your ears as an electronic mess. Bono Must Die are a wiser, less child friendly Hadouken. Taking all the best elements of gritty indie dancefloors and laceing it with killer basslines and spat-out vocals. Also, they have one of the best band names ever.

So, persuaded? You should be, but if all those MySpace links and pretty pictures and wise recomendations aren't enough, here is a collection of MP3's for your listening pleasure. I'll see you around. Yeah?
