Tom Du Croz from LondonGigGuide selects five small/medium gigs around town this week.
Tuesday 10 June
Violet Sion, The Good Ship, Kilburn
https://soundcloud.com/violetsion/fallandfly
This London singer/songwriter counts Fleetwood Mac as a major influence and you can definitely hear that in this track. Her forthcoming EP 'Gold' is set for release some time this year and she presents that tonight. @VioletSion @thegoodshipNW6
Thursday 12 June
Rum Buffalo, The Magic Garden, Battersea
https://soundcloud.com/rum-buffalo/savage-serenade
Welcome to a world of Rum Buffalo. It's full of western swing and bastardised bluegrass. @magic_pub
Friday 13 June
Bella Loka, St Pancras Old Church, King's Cross
https://soundcloud.com/bellaloka/escape?in=bellaloka/sets/escape-ep-produced-at-abbey
This gig is to launch the new EP from this Camden Town-based, indie pop duo who have just recorded their debut EP at Abbey Road Studios with the in-house producer Rob Cass. For those who are worried about going to a gig in a church — there is still booze available. @bellalokamusic @OldStPancras
Saturday 14 June
Passport to Stockholm / The Mispers, Bush Stock — various venues around Shepherds Bush
https://soundcloud.com/passporttostockholm/chemistry-radio-edit-1/
Bush Stock is one of the best one-day festivals in London. There are 28 bands playing across the day — the two above are my favourite but all the acts should be decent. Tickets are £27.50. @ptsofficial/@themispers
Sunday 15 June
We Used To Make Things, Hackney Attic, Hackney
https://soundcloud.com/we-used-to-make-things/the-godfish-song
We are massive fans of this band. They normally perform as a very loud eight-piece, but they also do smaller acoustic sets like this gig. The rest of the line up is pretty stunning too with Oh Sister and Hattie Whitehead (both previous guests of our show) also playing. @WUTMT
