The sister event to the long established All Tomorrow's Parties festival, I'll Be Your Mirror returns to London's famous Alexandra Palace from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th May. Following on from last year's successful event curated by Portishead and ATP, this time around Mogwai have joined with ATP to assemble the music line-up, with a cinema programme curated by Mogwai, London's Prince Charles Cinema, Louis Theroux and ATP. The headliners on each of the three days are festival exclusives – these will be the only UK shows of 2012 for Slayer (Friday) and the specially reformed ...

This 99-track Occupy benefit shows how far beyond Sixties folk lefty rabble-rousing has come with hip-hop electronica and indie rock sitting alongside Pete Seeger and Joan Baez The comp's high point is unexpectedly ambivalent the slow-build amp howl of Mogwai’s “Earth Division” leading into the battle rattle of the Occupy...

*Wintersleep* (http://www.absolutepunk.net/wintersleep) will be on the road starting next Tuesday in support of their forthcoming album, Hello Hum, which was co-produced and mixed by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips) and Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai). Check the dates in the replies.

This is a self-released album – I’d thought it was on Gargleblast and that’d have been more of a clue to its origins. It’s recorded at that studio and the whole of the opener has a kind of Lanarkshire feel – towering, spatial and a bit epic, like The Unwinding Hours or Mogwai (who to [...]

Chromeo, Capital Cities, Tiger & Woods y Mecánico Jueves 17 de mayo Aniversario Fauna en Centro de Eventos Chimkowe Fotos por Rodrigo Ferrrari La pregunta rondó en las redes sociales: ¿por qué alguien querría ir a Chromeo la misma noche que Mogwai se presentaba en nuestro país? Comparados con los de los escoceses, los méritos [...]

Konx-om-Pax knows how to build scenes from different galaxies , where maybe it’s normal and casual for jets of rainbow flames to shoot through tribal festivals and for pinwheels to have heartbeats and for jellyfish to be covered in jewels. Maybe he even hangs out in those galaxies, getting there by way of a rocket made of Silly-Putty or a chrome chariot pulled by anthropomorphic geometric shapes. You might even know him, or at least know of him,. The Glasgow-based artist, whose real name is Tom Scholefield, has made videos for the likes of Hudson Mowhawke, Mogwai, Martyn, Jamie Lidell ...

Human Don't Be Angry came to represent a minor triumph of the most unassuming variety , and indeed tonight's a rather subdued affair for Shoreditch. You can hear the soles of Malcolm Middleton's trainers squelch as they stick to and unstick from this stage persistently splattered in viscous stuff. Whisky or the odd drop of Wallace IPA perhaps and despite the LP only being outed later on last month, over the wearying of said period it has already matured to a fine vintage. A slight reluctance to gargle his gruff brogue down the mic accompanies an anticipated onstage ...

Die jüngst wiedervereinigten Alternative Rock-Urgesteine The Afghan Whigs geben einen Song als Gratis-Download frei. "See And Don't See" ist dabei ein Cover des gleichnamigen Songs der Soulsängerin Marie "Queenie" Lyons. Auch die Neuinterpretation der Herren um Greg Dulli besticht mit viel Seele. Musikalisch allerdings bleibt sich das Trio treu, sodass der Song mit Akustikgitarre und Synthie-Fläche einen völlig eigenen, melancholischen Charme entwickelt. Hier könnt ihr, im Tausch gegen eure Email-Adresse, das erste Lebenszeichen der Drei aus Cincinnatti seit fünf Jahren herunterladen: The Afghan Whigs - "See And Don't See" Seit Mitte der 80er sind The Afghan Whigs bereits aktiv ...

Go team. Today I'm somewhat more organised. Only somewhat though, full organisation is like a myth to me, along with unicorns, Brigadoon, and good Kassidy records. Zing. Since it's Sunday I'm going to focus more on a band than a song today. I don't know what ot being Sunday has to do with that, but I am quite clearly making this shit up as I go along, so whatever. Urasei Yatsura formed in Glasgow in 1993 and consisted of Graham Kemp, Fergus Lawrie, Elaine Graham and Elaine 's brother Ian Graham. In 1994 they contributed a ...

I have been listening to this album for months and thought Id already posted about, but alas this has not been the case. I love me some ace post-rock, yet new good stuff can be hard to find. You Are Genius , German band Condre Scr's 2nd LP (and 1st in six years!), certainly isn't anything new - in fact for the majority of its playing time the album could be outtakes from the early days of Scottish gods Mogwai. But that is the kicker, right there - whilst still an amazing band, Mogwai killed in the early days. As does ...

Mogwai en vivo Jueves 17 de mayo Teatro La Cúpula Fotos por Rodrigo Ferrari Menos ruidosa, más emocionante: anoche los tapones para los oídos sobraron en La Cúpula Stuart Braithwaite, guitarrista y cabeza pensante de Mogwai, es hijo de un constructor de telescopios.

O DJ Gordinho, rei da Maldita, tocou essa belezura logo após o show do Mogwai no Circo, provocando alguns emails e SMS de gente querendo saber qual o nome dessa música. Era “Ocean Potion”, do Remember Remember, lançada pelo Rock Action, selo do… Mogwai.
