In The Valley Below
Categories, Music
Los Angeles residents Jeffrey Jacob and Angela Gail create sultry, synthetic atmospherics with dual male-female harmonies, all delivered with a slightly menacing air. If you think that sounds a bit like a goth Fleetwood Mac… you're right.

A guitar-rockin' and electro session that attracts a huge studenty crowd, with live sets each week.
Guilty Pleasures

Abba. Junk food. Watching Jeremy Kyle just so you can shout at the TV and throw frozen oven chips at him. We've all got our guilty pleasures, and this hugely fun night celebrates the musical side of them. It's a high-quality but ultimately cheesy party...
Haim
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
The three Haim sisters (plus a drummer, no relation) bring their brilliant and breezy West Coast harmonies and epic, R&B-influenced pop – as much Wilson Phillips as Fleetwood Mac – to the UK. They're already big news, having won the BBC Sound of 2013...

After meeting at a rubbish house party, this Aussie duo headed home immediately to work on some seriously grooveworthy tunes that would get people dancing like the party didn’t. Look forward to some shimmering synth-fuelled electro-pop tonight.

Matt Corby
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
As a runner-up on 'Australian Idol', you might expect Matt Corby to be a pop belter. Well, he's actually a heart-tugging singer-songwriter with a shedload of affecting vocal melodies, and a recent angling towards blues and soul. And he turned down a deal...

The Tragically Hip

If you're looking to marry a Canadian, this is the place to come. These veteran rockers, who are essentially the Canuck REM, are massive in their homeland – and, curiously, were a big early influence on the Stereophonics. They play from their hefty back...
