I went to a wedding this weekend to see one of my best boypals marry the love of his life. And it was one of the most heart-warming things I ever did see. So while it is unlikely that any record will be able to wipe the smile off my wetasaflannel, romantic face, one which has Nick Grimshaw as a supporter will have a flipping good try. »
Primavera Sound 2009 had one of the best bills we've ever seen, with an eye-boggling array of talent on offer. Here's what our intrepid writing team came back babbling excitedly about.»
The first Rollerpalooza (co-promoted by DiS) took place in Sheffield on Saturday evening, and it was everything we hoped it'd be and plenty more besides.

We've already told you how excited we are about Rollerpalooza, but now it's time to hear what one of the acts in question reckons to our seven bands/six DJs, skates and booze extravaganza.»

The Huw Stephens curated SWN Festival takes place this weekend in Cardiff. The Radio 1 DJ drops into the DiSopolis to explain the thinking behind the Welsh music blow-out»
They came, they wiggled, they slayed. To firm the ground ahead of the impact of their fourth studio album – and first official UK long-player – Atlanta’s Black Lips hopped into a stinkin’ van and wound their way around the wiry blues and yellows of AA’s motorist’s guide to the UK. They played some shows, hung out a bit, and let certain bits hang right out. Chaos, fun, dribble and spit, and some punk rock: all adds up to a grand time...»
DiS's Mike Diver meets new Vice signings Black Lips in east London to find out about their D.I.Y. roots and current courting of the trendier end of the music press, as well as their feelings on being a 'new' band with a massive back catalogue to their name already...»

DiS is, to say the least, pretty damn excited: tomorrow (tomorrow, in this case, being May 31, 2007) we fly to Barcelona for the annual Primavera Sound festival. The bill is literally a perfect who’s who of our favourite bands – some returning heroes, some breaking-through young bucks. Feel our sweaty skin, do – we are that excited...»
