The Levi's® OnesToWatch® London Residencies roll back into town this September promising a kaleidoscopic ensemble of new musical gems cutting their teeth on the live scene.
The September shows kick off at The Macbeth in Shoreditch with a much anticipated headline show from Brooklyn's Bear Hands, who have recently been sharing the stage on tour with Passion Pit and Hockey. This will be their first headline tour following the release of their limited edition 7" single in March, 'What a drag'. They have received extended play on Radio 1 and 6, and are creating a lot of hype - this show is expected to sell out fast. Support comes from Swimming and The Antlers.
The following week sees Your Twenties top the bill at The Borderline, bringing a summer vibe to Soho with their upbeat, keys-driven pop. They are currently writing their debut album, with Metronomy's Joseph Mount producing several tracks. Also on the bill are The Brute Chorus (who will be celebrating the lead singers 30th birthday on the night) and The Bridport Dagger.
September is rounded off with what promises to be a unique party performance from Hammersmith rapper Example, who will roll out his dysfunctional electro pop to the Camden Barfly. The same week as this gig sees the release of his latest single 'Watch The Sun Come Up' on Data Records. Completing the line-up are Milke and A Genuine Freakshow.
These three dates follow July's massive Levi's® OnesToWatch® 5 Night Revue with sell-out shows from Hockey, Passion Pit, Dananananakroyd and Everything Everything, plus a secret show from Friendly Fires on the roof of Shoreditch House.
