Talia has already covered the more common places to go dancing tomorrow night, but for a more alternative music New Years Eve, then wander over to Kings Cross’ Monto Water Rats to catch Brighton rockers Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster play a special New Years gig with support from Gingerbread Men, The Foxes and a few others.

As reported last week, Monday should see you going crazy to hear that one good song (are there others) by Peter Bjorn and John at the forum.

Tickets are still available at £13 each.  If free things are of more interest, woman of the moment Kate......

If you can imagine Death From Above 1979 as two twin teen sisters from Seattle playing sparkly, wiser than their meager years, power pop then you'll be able to imagine Smoosh. Their debut She Like Electric Comes has just been released over here and from what we've heard so far it's pretty damn fine. With previous touring partners Sufjan Stevens and the Go! Team providing a better than credible pedigree you now have a......

XFM have announced the line up for this year's Camden Crawl. If you're unfamilar with the concept, the general idea is coordinate a one day 'festival' whereby 40 bands play across nine different venues (In Camden obviously). The first band appear on stage at around 7pm and all the gigs finish around the 3am mark. So far XFM have announced the following bands: 10 Thousand Things Amusement Parks On Fire, Art Brut, The Black......
