I Heard About Your Band
Firstly, we're very happy to have another new writer on board, the wonderfully named Butler Hasson (codename, obviously). She's based in London and is closely involved with loads of exciting things happening at the moment, including the Camden Crawl. She'll be contributing all kinds of stuff, from live reviews through to introducing us to the capital's hottest acts. Hopefully we'll be bringing you her slant on the live show of heartbreakingly fragile Polly Scattergood early next week. Hold on tight, it's getting pretty exciting from here on in. And now for something closer to home...
It's a sadly rare occasion when a truly exciting band visits Lincoln, and all too often it's courtesy of the Engine Shed. Not that it's a bad venue, it's just nice to have variation. Saturday however, is different. Brakes, that wonderful mixture of musicians from Electric Soft Parade and British Sea Power, drop by the recently mobile Bivouac on the first date of a national tour supporting their new album Touchdown. Eamon from the band describes their new effort as "the fucking zenith of civilisation, it will make your jaw drop further than the Dow Jones in 2008". Support comes from the fabulous Voluntary Butler Scheme (you'll recognise their stand-out track Tabasco Sole from somewhere), Joe Actually, and the Mark 9's. So just to recap, that's two superb out of town bands, and two superb local bands. You'd be a fool to miss it. Ticket link is below, £8 delivered or £7 on the door.
