Field Music return with DOUBLE ALBUM!!

This really is a heart-warmingly beautiful record and when you get your little mits on a copy it deserves a listen with your full attention. We suggest a nice glass of wine of a evening (other alcoholic/non alcoholic drinks are available) and treat yourself to one of the albums of 2010!  For a little preview [...]

James Mercer and Danger Mouse create new supergroup Broken Bells

Oh. Yes. Please. Now that he’s parted with most of the old Shins lineup, James Mercer is free to do what he wants… and what better way to start this off than teaming up with super-producer Danger Mouse to form a new band called Broken Bells. The duo will be putting out a full-length album sometime next [...]

BBC Sound of 2010 – Two Door Cinema Club

Next up it’s Two Door Cinema Club .  We have always been a fan here at DirtyBoots but were a little suprised when we saw them on the BBC poll, not because they are not worthy (not at all) but because they have been around for a good couple of years now and were on [...]

BBC Sound of 2010 – Owl City

Owl City is a bit of a weird one for me.  I’m not a big fan and just hear it as ‘Postal Service’ light but this one man purveyor of glitchy emo pop definitely seems to be doing something right as he is absolutely storming it in the states with a sell-out tour and over [...]

Michael Kiwanuka… This kid is the real deal.

I have selfishly kept this artist to myself for a couple of months now as Michael Kiwanuka is the sort of artist that comes along once in a blue moon and I really wanted to savour the intimate shows that I have been lucky enough to check out over the last month.  Don’t worry he will still be [...]

BBC Sound of 2010 – The Drums

So no real suprises in this year’s tips list from the BBC and if you follow new music you would have stumbled accross most of these acts already, maybe even on the DirtyBoots pages or stages, as we have featured many of these over the past year or so.  All that aside though, we thought [...]

The Dirty Mac Club!

It was my first time in the fantastic St Moritz Club, so I did not know what to expect as I entered what must be one of,  if not the last cavern venue in Soho.  Jess and I had been asked to DJ so we came armed with a bag full of 60′s garage/northern soul [...]

Band of the Day… Wampire

Wampire… Not sure about the name but once you pass that initial hurdle the latest band to blossom from Portland’s thriving music scene soon win you over with their psychedelic sounds.  Although there will be obvious comparisons to MGMT and the like, I think that there is definitely something new to add to this genre and [...]

Summer Camp anyone?

Hey Everyone, Got told about a band last Wednesday and honestly have not stopped playing the demo’s since … it is really refreshing when something comes along that sounds completely different from what’s going on at the moment and Summer Camp‘s demos certainly do that. Unfortunately there is not a lot more I can tell [...]

Successful UK trip for the newly named Pyramiddd!

As you know, all of us at DirtyBoots have been supporters of Starfucker for a while (they played our SXSW show earlier this year) so we were over the moon when the news of a small UK tour were announced.  Those who were at November’s DirtyBoots show were lucky enough to catch the newly renamed [...]
