We just received a press release for a secret party. Odd. Anyway, it’s an awesome lineup so I’ll get over my confusion.

Fucked Up play at Corsica Studios this Saturday with Mob Rules, Male Bonding and The Sceptres, plus DJs from Sex is Disgusting, Matador Records and No Pain in Pop. Read on for the full lineup, flyer and link.

Video: Times New Viking – Call and Respond (live on A>D>D)

Some lo-fi treats for you – check out the new A>D>D session from Times New Viking, recorded on VHS cameras, and then grab a very generous Matador Records sampler featuring Fucked Up, Jay Reatard, Shearwater, Pavement (and including that very track above) and more vids after the jump…

Check out ‘Twice Born’ and ‘Black Albino Bones’ from the same session after the jump.

Telepathe – Devil’s Trident

More new(ish) shit from Metronomy, Fucked Up, Dan Deacon (live), Beirut + LR Rockets after the jump…

Now this is exciting. SUN RA’S ARKESTRA are going to being playing in Shoreditch next month. And so are Kid606, Trencher, Fucked Up, DJ Scotch Egg, Acid Mothers Temple, Don Caballero and a shit-ton of others.

It’s all happening at Hokaben – a new music festival at 93ft East over the weekend of 7th, 8th & 9th November. According to the organisers, “the idea is to have a festival in our capital city bringing together the weirdest / heaviest / craziest / most awesome underground bands on the planet under one roof with not a foppish indie band or yawnsome postrock band in sight”.

Sounds good to us! Read on for the full lineup plus ticket info and flyer.
