Radar: Veronica Falls and By The Sea at Leaf

The finest way to spend a windy Thursday evening: fuzzy, garagey indie-pop wonders head to Leaf tonight, courtesy of promoters Harvest Sun.

Glasgow/London gang Veronica Falls, who visit the city tonight, take all the best bits of swoony, jangly 80s indie-pop (think The Pastels, Shop Assistants, C86 and Postcard Records’ very finest moments) and mash it together to make a rather lovely noise. They’re anything but twee revivalists, though - underneath the gallons of reverb beats a dark heart. Look no further than their track titles - ‘We Found Love In A Graveyard’ (um, we’re pretty sure you can get arrested for that), ‘Misery’, and ‘Beachy Head’, an ode to the notorious suicide spot. Cult Wirral folk-pop troupe By The Sea support.

Veronica Falls w/ Novella and By The Sea
Leaf, Bold St
8th March, 7.30pm, £7.50

    Radar: Northern Dance, at Unity

    SOME of the most interesting and innovative dance work being created by northern artists will be showcased at the Unity Theatre next week, as Northern Dance heads to town.

    Radar: Designival at Camp and Furnace

    Norwegian electronica of the top drawer variety. Lindstrom is in town next month. And he's a new album named after his favourite foods. Tasty, tasty. He's very very tasty.
