Another gig tonight and I’m off to to London based ‘Fiction’ at Middlesbrough’s indie/alt night ‘Creeps‘.

Having finished their tour with Klaxons Fiction are on a UK tour and I expect they’ll be playing small tents around a few big Festivals this year (they’ve already confirmed playing The Great Escape tour in Brighton).

Anyway, here’s one of their tracks, ‘Big Things’.

PS: Fictions t-shirt is rather good, if anyone wants to buy me one that’d be awesome. Go on you know you want to. No? Ah well here’s the link to Fictions shop anyway.

So I went to see The Naked And Famous in York yesterday (previous post), the place was packed and they pretty much played their first album ‘Passive Me, Aggressive You’ from start to finish.

The album sounds quite varied. The singles that have had comparison drawn to MGMT and Passion Pit (and rightly so), but the rest of the material is much less pop-oriented and sometimes verges on M83 style chillout (the song ‘Eyes’ in particular).

While I’m drawing comparisons here, the opening track from the set/album ‘All Of This’ is so LCD Soundsystem that at about 1:45 in I was stood desperately wanting to scream ‘Where are my friends tonight?’ at the top of my lungs.

So I’m off to see The Naked And Famous on Monday at Fibbers in York, I’m reckoning this could be a very good gig. Here’s one of the songs that’s exciting me at the moment ‘Young Blood’, thier most recent single to be taken from thier debut album ‘Passive Me, Aggressive You’.
