LA's power duo No Age have confirmed that they'll play two very special London headline shows later this year, in April to be precise. Super stuff from one of our favourite acts. The first show will be at the Bussey Building on April 2 and the next night they'll play The Bear) by Jean-Jacques Annaud at the ICA. They've also just announced a full-on European tour, which includes shows in Bulgaria, Romania and Macedonia.»

Hello Today marks 10 years since our website went "live" and we wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has written, read and supported http://drownedinsound.com over the past 10 years. We would be nothing without the passion, »
Los Angeles noisy-duo No Age release their new LP very soon indeed. It's called Everything In Between and comes out through that indie label of much repute, Sub Pop. You can also now stream it over at The Guardian. We did toy with stealing the code and posting it ourselves but that would have been against the spirit of internet exclusives, wouldn't it?»
How on earth do or should we 'celebrate' reaching a 10 year landmark? We considered some real-world trolling with biiiig events but it felt more like trying to impress a few media oiks, from London, rather than doing something defiantly DiS. What we have put together, is a series of events in the UK, in October, with bands we like. These will take place in warehouses, on roller-skate rinks and in traditional venues. We're trying to cover the whole country but for now we can announce events in London, Sheffield and Manchester. »
A few mp3s from a few of our favourite artists.»
DiS has joined the likes of Dazed & Confused, XLR8R, Fabric, FACT and Vice for Mixcloud's Celebration of Curation. »
When we got the news about LA duo No Age's new record, we really hoped it would continue the theme of 'great records being released on September 13 in the UK'. Alas, it was not to be, and it looks like we're just going to have to settle for it being a great record which isn't released on September 13. »
Noisy, raucous, lo-fi duo No Age are more - and indeed most - famous for their short, sharp bursts of pop songs, but they're starting to branch out a little bit, and have scored a short film. They've also posted an mp3 of their work. They explain so on their blog and below:»

As part of our year-end round-up we've asked some musicians to tell us what their favourite five albums of 2008 are. Not just any ol' music makers, mind. We've spoken to the creators of some of our albums of this year, as well as some fresh-faced folks with records ready in the wings for 2009 plaudits. In part three Hauschka, School of Seven Bells, F^cked Up, Frightened Rabbit and No Age tell us which five records they loved in 2008.»
My head hurts. Here are some photos from London.»
The thing about London gigs, is that for the band, they’re f*cking awesome things. For us poor crew, however, it’s a bit more stressful: there’s more to do, seemingly less organisation and definitely more annoying c*nts hanging about.»
Sorry it’s taken a little while to get back to you from Glasgow. Blame Glasgow. Saturday’s show was an Epic Spectacular in the mould of great Art School shows. And given that it all took place at the Glasgow School of Art, that was handy.»
