Pretty much an average week musically this week, with lots of quality stuff to be found.
Keane
Ida Maria (who likes you so much better when you're naked) plays Koko on Wednesday, as do Simian Mobile Disco on Thursday - tickets are all gone for Thursday, but £10.39 for Wednesday.. Keane have two nights at the O2 on Thursday and Friday - tickets are £29.36 each.
Meanwhile, Lordi (remember them? 2006's Eurovision winners, Finnish heavy metallers) continue their downward spiral to obscurity by playing the Islington Academy on Thursday. Tickets are £15 each. If you like something a bit calmer, then Robyn Hitchcock and his friends play Union Chapel that same evening - tickets are £15 each to see the singer songwriter / folk guitarist.
We've missed out TONNES of good music that's on around London this week, but if you're going to catch something we need to know about, why not leave it in the comments below?
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.
