Gigs to go to - Thursday 19th May Sound City

Dinosaur Pile-Up @ The Masque
Dinosaur Pile-Up might just about to be on the verge of something pretty big. They sound a bit like an early Foo Fighters record (that’s a good thing) but they’ve also managed to write catchy choruses that They Might be Giants would be proud of and bring their beloved Leeds into their style. The Masque should be sweaty enough for this band so get yourself down if you fancy starting off Sound City with just one band.

The Dutch Uncles + Veronica Falls @ The Zanzibar
The Dutch Uncles are a mighty fine band in their own right. They’ve got a whirlwind combination of popcorn synths, and wiry guitars that manage to compliment the kindly vocals.
They might be one of the bands who really kick on from Sound City as well, and its at the Zanzibar, which is usually a good venue plagued by substandard ‘anyone will do’ bands.
The support band Veronica Falls however, may steal the show. It’s been a while since shoegazing went away, but everyone seems to be citing My Bloody Valentine at the moment and this London-based band have more than enough about them to go places.
