Deerhoof

From their humble beginnings as an obscure San Francisco noise act, Deerhoof have become one of indie music's most influential bands with their ecstatic and unruly take on pop. Satomi Matsuzaki plays bass and sings, Greg Saunier plays drums, John Dieterich and Ed Rodriguez play guitars. But what is Deerhoof really? Pitchfork went so far as to label Deerhoof as "the best band in the world". The New York Times described them as "one of the most original rock bands to have come along in the last decade". With 11 albums under their belt, the band won't be short of material to call upon at these shows.

Jesca Hoop

A sensual, esoteric singer-songwriter whose odd, sparse songs nod to influences like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Vashti Bunyan, Jesca Hoop got her big break thanks to her gig as a nanny for Tom Waits' offspring in the early 2000s. Waits took a liking to Hoop's off-beat indie pop songs - songs that linked her with Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom - and thanks to him her demo found its way to US radio DJ Nic Harcourt, who started giving 'Seed of Wonder' airplay. The song went on to become popular with Harcourt's listeners; so much so that record companies started paying court to Hoop and she signed with 3 Entertainment soon after. Her debut full-length on that label, 'Kismet', was released in 2007 and her latest record 'The House That Jack Built' came out last year.

Fucked Up & Titus Andronicus

Two of punk's most progressive bands co-headline a run of upcoming shows. Fucked Up push boundaries - forming ostensibly as a punk band, they swiftly took on hardcore twisting it into their own cacophony of unexpected instrumentation, psychedelic leanings, and songs stretched to perverse lengths. Combining this with the legendary live reputation of frontman Abraham and their lyrics that reflect situationist philosophy means even in their loudest moments there is a deep intelligence to their music. Titus Andronicus released their latest album 'Local Business' in October - the tracks still bear many of the characteristics of their classic songs, with rhythms to beat out on your steering wheel, triumphant classic rock guitars, and lead singer Stickles showing off his underrated sense of tunefulness. Don't miss out on what are sure to be some epic shows.

Gravenhurst

Gravenhurst is the work of songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nick Talbot. After three critically acclaimed records for Warp between 2003 and 2007, Talbot released latest album 'The Ghost In Daylight' just over a year ago. His most sonically diverse work yet, with starkly acoustic songs resting alongside densely layered pieces constructed from mellotrons, optigans and antique synthesizers, the record is something quite special. Always a sell out, there's a handful of tickets left for this upcoming London show.

Hal Cruttenden

Perrier Award Nominee and Live At the Apollo star Hal Cruttenden is one of the top comedians working in the UK today, as well as being a highly accomplished writer and actor. Recent television appearances include Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, The Royal Variety Performance and The Rob Brydon Show. This year he was nominated for Best Club Act at the prestigious Chortle Awards, and in 2012 his stand up show 'Tough Luvvie' was a complete sell-out at the Edinburgh Festival and transferred to the Soho Theatre London for a short run. Catch one of stand-up's greatest talents at these dates.
