LIVE: ArcTanGent 2018 – Thursday

LIVE: Eliza and the Bear @ The Portland Arms, Cambridge

Some music is made to be played live, and Eliza and the Bear’s current catalogue is a fine example. While their music falls somewhat flat on record, their live shows provide more energy and complexity than you could ever get from listening to their music on Spotify. With main support

LIVE: Deaf Havana @ St Pancras Old Church, London

Album release days are always filled with nervous anticipation for both artists and fans – as the former brace themselves for whatever response might be coming their way, and fans try to hold off from high expectations to avoid disappointment. For Deaf Havana – playing St Pancras Old Church on

LIVE: Bad Cop/Bad Cop / Traits @ The Key Club, Leeds

Today is Yorkshire Day, so what better way to celebrate this momentous – slightly dubious in its origin – date on the calendar than heading into a sweaty Leeds club to watch a gang of Californian punks? And it would not be a show in Leeds without

LIVE: Palm Reader / Haggard Cat / Cove / Hinges / 99% Cobra @ The Key Club, Leeds

LIVE: ROAM / Milestones / Wolf Culture @ Arts Club, Liverpool

Summer is a pretty rubbish time to be a gig fan in the UK. As festival season takes over and temperatures increase from ‘meh’ to ‘perma-sweaty’ overnight, the steady flow of tours dries up faster than you can say “hosepipe ban”. Tonight, the drought ends in more than
