LONDON
Slim Customers: London´s undiscovered garage
Singer and guitarist, King Lemon – looking like a depraved version of Roger Daltrey´s outstanding years – and drummer, Vampire Joe, are nothing but loud and psych-garage madness full of cacophony and distortion. If you prefer comparisons? A gear of sound reminiscent of The Cramps, The Sonics, The Velvets and Iggy & The Stooges.
Kate Bush: The return of the British outsider
Britain´s art-rock soprano and outsider, Kate Bush, is back after 35 years of not been enrolled on touring. And she is back with a massive London residency of 15 shows at the Hammersmith Odeon; the legendary venue that in 1973, saw Ziggy Stardust´s assassination and the stage where Bush´s last full show took place in 1979.
Saint Agnes: “We are anti-clean”
This band is a worthy rock n´ roll revival with a colossal sound. “Ennio Morricone´s rock n´roll” is how they described themselves before and they might not be wrong if you think of spaghetti western soundtracks overlapped with American´s cowboy-desert sound fuelled with heavy drugged, psychedelic passages.
Transformer: Aspects of Travesty @ Richard Saltoun Gallery, London
“Transformer looks back at the 70s contemporary society and art practice, considering the aspects of transvestism and sexual self-reflection in art. The exhibition takes its title from the seminal 1972 album by Lou Reed, finding its parallel in the worlds of fashion and glam rock.”
Prince & 3rdEyeGirl @Ronnie Scott´s (1st Show)
Prince´s legendary gig at Ronnie Scott´s was the most intimate from the incredible Hit & Run Tour with around 200 lucky (and devoted) fans that queued for more than 12 hours and a guest list with the likes of Noel Gallagher, Adele, Nile Rodgers, Stephen Fry and Kate Moss.
