Who: New York City’s finest experimentalists Battles. Now slimmed down to a three piece, they’ve just released latest album ‘Gloss Drop’, an acclaimed voyage into glitchy electronica, weirdo pop and skronky rock. Last time they were in Liverpool they blew everyone’s heads off in the Masque - we’re fully expecting them to do the same when they return this winter.

Where: The Kazimier, Wolstenholme Sq, Liverpool. November 18th, £14.
