Devastations in London: win tickets for DiS-associated show
Following the success of last Friday's end-of-summer (although it's bloody blazing outside right now) bash at London's Monto Water Rats - thanks to all who packed the place out for stunning sets from Russian Circles, Eugene McGuinness, Dartz!, Youthmovies and I Was A Cub Scout - DiS is pleased to announce we're back at the very same venue later this month for something a little quieter, but no less brilliant.
On September 18, Berlin/London-based Australians Devastations play a one-off date at the aforementioned Gray's Inn Road venue, with support from the always excellent Josh T Pearson, formerly of Lift To Experience, and rising capital city songwriter Jack Savoretti. The Tuesday night show also features DiS DJs. Hello!
Tickets for the show are priced at £9.50 and are available from Ticketweb - click here to buy some. Devastations release their new album, Yes, U, via Beggars on September 17. They also play the End of the Road festival on the weekend of September 14-16. More information on said three-dayer can be found here.

Man
I wish I'd got tickets for the Oilyboily Jazz Bash this year. Apparently Sam Smith and the JD Wetherspoon Band were exemplary
Aye, they were mint.
But paled in comparison to the Misty Moon All Starz.
not sure if I can
afford this but I can't miss either Devastations or Joshy.
This has created a real dilemna for me.
I am..
BLATENTLY going to be at this gig!!
Devastations
are fucking tremendous. I shall be there with bells on.
Hopefully I'll get to see these chaps at eotr festival
Not sure how much I like them, but they sound ok so far. But I will watch Reigns (another band I hadn't heard of before, but sound great, and for some reason has an album for £1.99 on play.com) beforehand, and Danielson afterwards, so hopefully they can be watched inbetween.
