Music Choice: Monday 3rd - Friday 7th March
This week saw Londonist get incredibly excited about a few live music events. First up, was French pop sensation Yelle, who played an intimate show at the Old Blue Last. Then, we had the Camden Crawl line up which, as ever, is pretty amazing for those of us who value music over sleep. Finally, Sally got (understandably) excited about The King Blues @ the 100 Club.

Tuesday sees Autechre play 7-11 Hearn Street, which is apparently a car park. Tickets are all gone, but it looks set to be one of the hot tickets of the night as they play their electro blips 'till the small hours. Meanwhile, for the more mainstream of you catch Goldfrapp play a sold out show at the Union Chapel, Islington. The ingeniously named Psychedelic Horseshit hopefully don't live up to their name when they play Barden's Boudoir - tickets are £6 for those intrigued enough to pop along.

Neil Young returns to the Hammersmith Apollo on Thursday for a sold out show, whilst power metallers Symphony X play the Astoria - tickets are £16.50 each. Twee pop fans rejoice, as The Boy Least Likely To play Water Rats on Thursday - tickets are £7 each.
To round off the week, Friday night sees Rihanna play the O2 (seats are £30 each from here). If pop isn't your thing, Finnish syphonic mettallers Apocalyptica play the Forum (tickets are £13.50 each). Northern Ireland's finest punk stars Stiff Little Fingers play the Astoria (tickets are £18.50 each), or if you like some retro 60's psychedelic rock then The Zombies play Shepherds Bush Empire - tickets are £27.50 each.
We always recommend ethical gig trading site Scarlet Mist as your first port of call for tickets particularly when they're sold out, so check them out and beat the touts. Failing that Gumtree is always a friend.
