(In case any concerts have changed dates/ changed venues/ been cancelled or I've made a typo, you'd be wise to check out the venue websites before heading out the door because I wouldn't want you to miss a thing ok?)
I'm quite intrigued and a little bit excited about going to see Micachu at the ICA tomorrow night. Whenever I hear the name Micachu I think of Pikachu, I just can't help it! According to Wikipedia:
"Pikachu are often found in houses, forests, plains and, occasionally, near mountains, islands, and electrical sources (such as power plants), on most continents... ...Pikachu can store electricity in its cheeks and release it in lightning-based attacks. "
Micachu is very experimental but will she store electricity in her cheeks? Find out in my full concert review here on Wednesday.
Micachu & The Shapes - Lips
From one East End gifted Lady to another, I strongly recommend checking out Excentral Tempest at the Lazy Gramophone Festival on Sunday. I saw her perform a spoken word last year and was left speechless, it's just a matter of time before she goes supernova. Also check out Sound of Rum, she's their singer.
