LONDON IN STEREO

Gig of the Week // March 12th - March 18th

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:35:00 -0500

Ambassadeurs // Douglas Dare

Sebright Arms - Thursday 14th March

Ambassadeurs, AKA Mark Dobson, caught our attention with glitchy beats and soulful vocal samples in ‘My World’, a track he gave away via Soundcloud. His skittish, electronic production laced with hiphop stylings have earned him over 11,000 followers on the streaming site and praise from sites such as XLR8R and Clash Magazine.

Supporting Ambassadeurs is Douglas Dare, a really exciting new pianist who puts a contemporary, synth-laced spin on the the singer-songwriter genre.

Outfit // Caulfield Beats // Sinah

Madame JoJos (White Heat) - Tuesday 5th March

The quality of the gigs this week is somewhat formidable. Making it tough to choose the best, and as much as we wanted to go for Sigur Ros and Blanck Mass at Brixton Academy, it just seemed much more sensible to go for our old favourites Outfit. We can’t stop coming back to their debut EP, no matter what else comes along, hopefully we’ll glimpse some new tracks this time round, ever increasing our anticipation for their album later this year. Fingers crossed it won’t be postponed AGAIN.

Don’t forget we’re here to help you discover new music too, get over to our handy little soundcloud player and see what we’re listening to this week.

XOYO (Sold Out) - 16th & 17th January

It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for since we heard the first notes of Losing You, The act to watch this year. We’ll watch another Knowles sister strutting her stuff, igniting the airwaves and leaving us all wondering what the hell they put in the water over there. Hopefully She’ll be back later this year for more shows, so if you don’t have a ticket, don’t panic yet.
