Mates of State // Warm Brains
Birthdays – Thursday 29th October
Normally it’d be pretty hard to choose a gig of the week in a week where no less than eight of our cover stars play, but when one of our favourite bands of all time comes back to the UK for the first time in nearly ten years…well, that’d do it. This duo make the most exciting, spontaneous and ridiculous pop music. They’re pretty much impossible to explain, so get listening to their latest single ‘Staring Contest’.
