Fifi Rong, Barfly, Camden

Strange, chilling, beautiful and that is just her voice. Originally from Beijing, Fifi Rong is a unique singer-songwriter and producer currently living in London — catch her at this gig. @fifirong @TheBarflyHQ
Friday 31 October
Cosines, The Windmill, Brixton
This week's shameless favourite is Cosines' Hey Sailor Boy!
Cosines are a mathematical pop band from north London - which is a bit weird but then so are they. "Boy I love you, but I'm a girl Pirate," they merrily sing. We don't understand them but we like them. Quite a lot. Catch them at this Halloween Spooktacular. @cosinesband @WindmillBrixton
Saturday 1 November
La Luz - Shackle Arms, Dalston
This female four piece from Seattle play moody, dreamy surf guitar tracks. This is their only UK date before they head home. @laluzers @ShacklewellArms
