Monday night seems all is dead in the capital, with New York kids Matt & Kim playing their power pop at The Cuban, Camden. Tickets are still available at £5 each. Pink starts a two night V Fest warm up on Tuesday at Carling Academy …
As has been the case for the last few weeks, very few new gigs have gone on sale this week, or are scheduled for tomorrow, but even so here’s the best of the new ones. The biggest perhaps is Marilyn Manson, who has announced a …
