London is a hotbed of gigs, perhaps the best music city in the world. Here are just some of the events we’ve got our eye on this week!
27/08: Fidlar
Fidlar return to London once more, crossing the pond in celebration of latest album Almost Free. It is a deeper, more considered affair, but still remains true to their skate-rock roots.
Where? Electric Brixton (Brixton)
27/08: YOWL / Peeping Drexels
Brixton’s Windmill is South London’s BEST musical hangout, this bill epitomises that! YOWL, based in Peckham, capture the frustration of modern London with ease. Peeping Drexels are hard-edged and sleazily melodic, dazzled by intrigue. What’s not to love?
Where? Windmill Brixton (Brixton)
28/08: Sundara Karma
Sundara Karma top another War Child showcase, this time taking place at the immensely popular EartH. It has been a quiet year for Sundara Karma, they are ramping up preparations for a third LP. It comes as part of Safe & Sound, a series set to become an annual event celebrating the best of alternative and leftfield artists whilst raising money for charity.
Where? EartH (Dalston)
28/08: Valeras
Groove heavy outfit Valeras top one of August’s most impressive line ups. Prima Queen, Nadia Sheikh, Venus, People In Museums and GIRLI (DJ Set) complete an exciting, girl-powered line-up. All proceeds will be donated to the My Body Back campaign, provided support to women after rape and sexual assault.
We cannot recommend this one enough!
Where? Werkhaus (Shoreditch)
01/09: London Communion inc. Superego and Suns Up
‘Communion Presents’ returns to West London for a night of forward-thinking, hard-hitting new music. On the bill are Superego, faves of Pale Waves and Black Honey, and Suns Up, endorsers of guitar-heavy pop.
Where? Notting Hill Arts Club (Notting Hill)
