DiS loves a good old fashioned after-party, particularly one that follows gigs by two of our favouritest indie-popstrels – which is why we're heading over to Leeds this very Friday evening (October 30th, date fans) to DJ at the venerable Cockpit venue.»
News: we're sticking with this DiScover Mixtape format (you seem to like it!), but from now on we're going to bring it to you in two installments per month, sorta like Side A and Side B on a 'real' cassette tape. So here's the first, and from now on you'll be seeing six new tracks per feature, hopefully making it a little bit more digestible and giving you more of a chance to listen to our writers' selections. Good idea? We reckon so.»
Another week, another DiScover Mixtape... with all this new music, we are really spoiling you (say in a sleazy European accent, liberally smattering zees and vees all over the place).»
There's a lot of new music out there, that's for sure. So rather than just spew words at you about why you should be listening to band A rather than band B or C, we've decided to give you the choice - them, plus bands D, E, F, etc. - in the form of this handy (and, from now on, regular) DiScover Mixtape.»
Just a quick reminder that DrownedinSound's inaugural DiScover Tour - featuring Three Trapped Tigers and Gold Panda - kicks off next Monday up in Newcastle. »
Wild Beasts have ramped everything up a few notches, improving - rather than reinventing - Limbo, Panto's expansive blueprint. »
Introducing Esben And The Witch...»
Truck Festival takes place this weekend (July 25th-26th) in a field in Steventon, near Oxford. We asked its founders to take over our DiScover column and tell us not only about the new bands on the bill, but also how they were chosen. They duly obliged. »
What's this? A national tour featuring two of our absolute favourite new acts, plus a smattering of local talent? Indeed! DrownedinSound is proud to present: the first DiScover Tour, spearheaded by Three Trapped Tigers and Gold Panda.»
Hove Festival took place on the idyllic island of Tromøy, near Arendal in Norway, last week. DiS was there, and soaked up a glorious four days of sun, sand and bands. If you've not been - and we're hazarding a guess that many of you haven't - then trust us when we say it's an altogether more civilised, sunny alternative to that English festival we've heard so much about these past few days. Here's DiS' highlights. »
Remember we told you about Tramlines Festival, that free Dot To Dot-esque shindig going down in Sheffield from July 24th-26th? No? Well, we did, and now DiS has exciting news of the first wave of bands confirmed for the bash along our 'circuit' of venues,»
DiS brings you our regular new music fix, and three fresh musical DiScoveries.»
ndy Falkous talks us through their new album Travels With Myself And Another (9/10 Review here), which is out now. »
You've probably heard of Nigel Godrich. He's been recording bands in studios for a number of years (his C.V., of course, includes Radiohead, Air, Beck, Paul McCartney, Pavement and R.E.M.), but you might not be so familiar with his "hobby", From The Basement, where he takes bands and records their performances for broadcast. We spoke to him about this, and other stuff...»
Future Of The Left's Andy Falkous is a man with a lot to say. We've often wondered what makes him tick, and recently we got the chance to find out.»
DiS brings you our regular new music fix, and three fresh musical DiScoveries.»
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. Bands plus booze plus skating certainly equalled fun - all the acts hit the rink over the course of the night, while members of headliners Black Lips even donned skates for their set.»
School Of Seven Bells and Telepathe on the same bill? Yup, that's right - and a sold out DiScover Sheffield lapped it up.»
DiS shared a few words with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders yesterday in relation to Sheffield's new Tramlines festival, but ended up finding out a few things about his band's third record, which could be with us as soon as August.»
DiS attended the press launch for Sheffield's Tramlines festival and grabbed ten minutes with Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders, who not only told us about his hopes for the festival but also delivered a progress report on his band's eagerly awaited third record...»
DiS favourite M83 and Ulrich Schnauss treated us to an evening of pre-ATP fun at The Deaf Institute in Manchester on Thursday. Here be pictures.»
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.»
DiS brings you the first in a series of exclusive video blogs from the Northern Alliance Tour featuring Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics and Pulled Apart By Horses.»
The wonderful My Latest Novel played a fantastic set for DiS at our DiScover club in Manchester.»
Question: What are your plans for Saturday May 16th? We'd like to remind you about our very own Rollerpalooza, which goes down in Sheffield on said date.»
DiS brings you our fortnightly new music fix, and three fresh musical DiScoveries.»
Three of DiS' very favourite Northern bands head out on tour this week, and one of them has agreed to compile a series of exclusive on-the-road videos documenting the madness as it unfolds.»
The Scots have pulled off the unenviable task of translating the most fun, most rocking, most utterly life-affirming live show that's currently doing the rounds into a brilliant, coherent debut album»
Much touted US bleep-poppers Passion Pit have announced the cancellation of their May headline tour»
My Latest Novel have announced details of a May tour in support of new album Deaths & Entrances - they're also playing our Manchester DiScover Club tonight»
