A mouth-watering line-up this one. Berlin’s indie band of the minute Fenster will arrive fresh back from their support slot with Vivian Girls in Dresden and headline what will be a fine evening at the soon not to be a mystery for the blitzkids anymore, Ira’s Warehouse. Their debut album Bones will be available at

The Feminists made a surprise appearance halfway through Sticks In The Casion’s set recently at Zosch, their spirit suddenly overwhelming the Sticks who stripped down to their underwear to reveal their inner feminist and some tasty lingerie and corsetts to boot. And the rest as they say is history. Who knows, maybe strutting about White

Thee Irma & Louise are from Bern in der Schweiz. They play ass-kickin garage-punk and were recommended to us by Grass Widow who sing their praises and recommend their recent album White Hell. Good enough for Grass Widow is good enough for us. Get over to XB, it’s going to be cheap beer and fun

It doesn’t get much indier than Sebadoh. Former Dinosaur Jr. bass player Lou Barlow must really f%$&in hate people always starting off articles about him and his much-better-than-Dinosaur Jr.-band Sebadoh by calling him that; rightly so, I’d hate it too…if I had an awesome band like Sebadoh that is…which I don’t, but I did once…nah,

Possibly the worst band name I’ve heard in ages but with members named Minky, Spleen, Queen, Baron, Advocate and VJ Pulsare who knows, this electro-disco-funk outift might just be what you need this Friday night at Kaffee Burger. As their press kit says rather unironically: Rock licks, funky beats, screaming synthesizers and pop hook-lines sizzle

Tel Aviv trio CMPTR CMP play their biggest show to date at about blank tonight…get your dancing shoes all shiny and fresh, you’ll need em. It’s a DFA Issue night which means excellent djs including former members of LCD Soundsystem to mention but a few keeping the dancefloor packed til the wee hours. While LCD

Jolly Goods get ready for the release of their new album Walrus on September 23rd on Rough Trade/Staatsakt with this show tonight at King Kong Club. Sisters Tanja Pippi (guitars, vocals) and Angy (drums, vocals) will be supported on the night by Vera Kropf, leader of Vienna’s finest pop export Luise Pop. Here’s the slightly

Royal Chord’s last offering The Good Fight was described by Melbourne’s Mess & Noise thus: Puts Royalchord in the same league as Au Revoir Simone, Bachelorette and a growing number of homespun, synth-reliant female acts that are aimed at the heart instead of the dance floor… If one can be bowled over by a whisper,

Kurt Vile returns on another seemingly endless tour through Europe and stops by the Berghain Kantine for what will surely be a sell-out show. After almost upstaging Akron/Family last May at the Festsaal with a support slot worthy of the adoring crowd which packed out the hall so early that evening, this time those devoted
