Gigs of the Week, 9 November

-

Welcome to our weekly round-up of shows happening in the grand concert halls, dimly lit basements, airy cafe’s and grimy sweatboxes across the UK and Ireland. All acts featured come with the Best Fit ‘Seal Of Approval’ so you can be assured that your hard earned cash will be well spent. To tempt your wallets this week we’ve gathered dates from long time favourites like El Perro Del Mar and Bon Iver, and paired them with more recent obsessions like Jessie Ware and Haim.

Jessie Ware @ The Cockpit, Leeds 09/11

Finally, having swooned over Devotion for what feels like a life time we’ll finally be getting to see Jessie Ware up close and personal as her UK tour really hits its stride this week.

Sold Out. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Jessie Ware shows.

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti @ Illuminations Festival, York Hall, London 09/11

The prolific LA maverick and his band are set for a one off show as part of the incredible Illuminations Festival.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti shows.

Bon Iver @ Scottish Exhibition and Conference Center, Glasgow 10/11

With the heart-breaking intensity of their early, small shows being replaced by a grand, all embracing humour and a surreal sense of jubilation Justin Vernon and co promise to put on a stadium worthy spectacle.

Sold Out. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Bon Iver shows.

Three Trapped Tigers @ The Village Underground, London 11/11

Experimental noise rock Londoners will be tearing up The Village Underground with Damo Suzuki for those of you who like their Sunday’s to be a little more invigorating than an over-sized roast dinner and a good film. If Matt Berry doesn’t come on stage ala the below video we’ll be disappointed.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Three Trapped Tigers shows.

El Perro Del Mar & Saint Lou Lou @ The Village Underground, London 12/11

Celebrating the release of her eagerly awaited fifth full-length Pale Fire, Gothenburg’s Sarah Assbring will undoubtedly charm crowds at this larger than usual venue.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more El Perro Del Mar shows.

Haim @ The Deaf Institute, Manchester 13/11

The LA based, sister fronted four-piece promise roaring classic americana riffs delivered by virtuoso hands and driven by taught rhythms and half spoken, breathy vocals that find themselves somewhere in between Annie Lennox and Ani DiFranco.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Haim shows.

Destroyer @ The Village Underground, London 13/11

Vancouver’s Dan Bejar Kaputt was a slow burning highlight of 2011 and we can’t thank Bird on The Wire enough for bringing his romantic, down tempo 80s grooves back once again.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Destroyer shows.

Sandro Perri @ The Lexington, London 14/11

Producer, electronic experimentalist, folk auteur and post-rock dabbler: Sandro Perri and his erstwhile moniker Polmo Polpo have been called many things. What the Toronto native can promise though, is a good live show.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Sandro Perri shows.

Holograms @ The Shacklewell Arms 15/11

Diiv label mates and Swedish electro-punks Holograms will be returning to our fair shores to deliver what we can only hope will be a frenzied set, swirling with messy guitars and howling feedback.

Tickets are available now. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Holograms shows.
