The musical taste of mass America is terrible; tame indie by numbers (Fun, Black Keys) boring, samey R n B and hip hop (Rihanna, Jay Z) and pop music so bad it could be used to counter terrorism (Taylor Swift). Our own Brit Awards always leave me despairing at the sort of music these ceremonies champion, Jessie J and Ed sheeran, Take That, JLS! Oh please fuck off. I think the only thing that is going to help the state of awards ceremonies is if i start my own ones. so here it is;<div>

You have to give it to The View, they're still going, steadily knocking out decent albums year after year, ok, so maybe they haven't reached the heights of some of the other bands that broke around the same time, in terms of headlining festivals etc but what they have done is continually release good solid rock n roll and they still have a more than dedicated fan base as was proved by the number of people at tonight's acoustic set.<br />
Brixton Jamm is a great place to see The View. It's a small, tight, rough round the edges rascal of a place absolutely brimming with character, you could pretty much describe the boys like this too, band and venue go together like cheese on a burger and it was this combination that actually got me out tonight, anyone that knows me will tell you i'm not a fan of acoustic, i find a lot of acoustic sets all very meh! If it aint plugged in i aint interested but tonight was very different.<br />
<br />

We wisely made this a 'lads night' and since we had all been on the crazy numbers (1664s) since 6pm, by the time The View came on at 10.30pm we were all three parts pissed and ready for a sing song. Thinking about it, is there a better night than being with all your pals, few lagers all arms round shoulders singing your heads off to classics like 'Wasted Little Djs' and 'Superstar Tradesman' then losing your shit to 'Skag Trendy' and finally having a little swaying, lighters up moment to tear jerkers like 'Face For The Radio'? I doubt there is. The boys played a blinding set with these plus great songs like 'Nan's For Tea' and newer tracks including 'The Clock' with it's Fleetwood Mac vibes which i'm still loving.<br />
Apparently they are finally off to have a crack at America and if i'm honest i don't know if the Yanks will get them, let face it, i've seen The View about 9 times and i still cant understand a word they say so God knows what the Americans will think but hey, if it doesn't work out me and the lads will always welcome them back here for a good old knees up.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Venue: </b>The Jamm is perfect for me, a glorious little dive. The room the band plays in is nice and compact and even at the back you feel close to the stage, massive outside bit out the front for smokers and good quick bar staff<br />
<b>Drinks: </b>Loads of decent beers on tap including Star and Kronenburg, fairly priced. Pleased.<br />
<b>Crowd: </b>Great crowd, all long time fans ready to have a good time, really really good.<br />
<b>Are The View cool or what?: </b>Yeah The View are cool lads, Kieran and Pete always look the business and while Kyle looks like a chimney sweep he gets points from me for staying true to his look which hasn't changed for years.<br />

At this time of year the music press like to run their 'ones to watch' features and 2013 in particular is very exciting with an unusual amount of top new talent emerging, Bands like Peace, Haim, Fidlar, Savages, Swim Deep and Deep Valley will all be dropping their debut albums this year but the band topping all these polls and my personal faves before i had even seen them due to them operating out of Lambeth, my home borough are Palma Violets. The NME have recently named their debut single 'Best of friends' as the number one song of 2012 and their house parties at South London's 180 studios have already become the stuff of legend, we thought we better go and see what all the fuss was about.<br />

I must admit i'd only heard about four tracks from the band before tonight's gig but after maybe half of their opener i turned to my missus and said "this is it, these are the real deal aint they?" she just looked at me with a massive grin on her face, sometimes you just know don't you, every now and then a band will just grab you, you can't explain it, you just feel it, instantly they've got you, it happened to me with The Libs, The Horrors, The Maccabees and now it's happened with Palma violets.<br />
This was very, very special, i loved the Libs style dual frontmen thingy they do with Bassist Chilli and Guitarist Sam sharing vocal duties, you could see the chemistry between the two and the crowd buzzed off it, new Pete and Carl anyone? Drummer Will looks and plays like animal from The Muppets which is surely what we all dream of in a drummer and Pete's keys back most tracks with organ vibes that give them an instant old school classic feel. For the most part they are very tight and when they aren't it just adds to their ramshackle charm. It all just feels very natural and very real and this matters, i mean look at a band like Splashh, great tunes, great sound for sure but not a band to believe in, how many faux East London, 'look at me i wear the zaniest clothes and live in a bin in Dalston' bands do we really need? At tonight's gig The Palmas showed me that they mean it, for them it's about connecting with the fans, all in it together, They're a gang but a gang that wants you all to join in. They have got it all, the tunes, the look, yep, but they have that little bit of gold that most bands don't. That thing that tonight made a young lady get on her mate's shoulders and whip her bangers out, that thing that made the kids down the front storm the stage three, maybe four times. I mean, you dont get that with Alt-J now do you?<br />

<b>Nitty Gritty</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Venue: blinding, small, it's attached to The Boston Arms pub, just a big square room, good sound, hard to get to the bar but that's to be expected, next door to the tube, touch.<br />
Crowd: mix of very young crowd surfing 'super fans' down the front and older curious types at the back.<br />
Drinks: normal, nothing out of the ordinary to report.<br />
Hair: Palmas look like they cut their own hair which is what i do, they look quality.<br />

What did you think of tonight?<br />
<i>Palma's were wicked, i hadn't heard that many of their songs but loved their sound so bought my ticket months ago. You could tell they attracted quite a young audience, probably due to their 'Best of friends' tune topping NME's poll which i agree is an absolute banger.</i><br />
<i>There were a few stage invasions, a few failed crowd surfs, girls getting their baps out, overall a decent night out and i'd defo go see them again.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
What gigs and festivals are you looking forward to this year?<br />
<i>Festivals, i want to go to Meadows in the mountains in Bulgaria, Boomtown, Glastonbury and Secret garden party. Gigs i want to see include Jake Bugg, Cheetahs, Hey Sholay and i'd love to see The Black Keys again. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
What was the last track that played on your Ipod?<br />
<i>Oasis 'Don't look back in anger'. I've been listening to the 'what's the story morning glory' album recently which is easily one of my fave albums after 'The Score' by The Fugees!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Nice one, cheers Amie!<br />

On the other hand i'll pretend i'm listening as she intelligently goes about explaining the ins and outs of Bay Area Hip Hop or American Folk music or A Tribe Called Quest when really i'm thinking 'i wonder if The Fox will be showing the Chelsea game'<br />
In other words our musical tastes can be somewhat different at times but the other day i thought i'd cracked it, as i waited in the van to pick her up from work i thought about a band that i have been obsessed with since day one, a band inspired by all her favourite artists and a band that are so American that they should have carried the Stars and Stripes and lead out the American athletes at the Olympics. The band is of course the brilliant Gaslight Anthem. I stuck on their latest album and we pretty much listened to it all on our journey home, as we pulled up to the flat i eagerly asked her what she thought hoping that finally we could agree on a band, her response: 'nah, i don't love 'em, they sound like mainstream American radio music'!!!<br />
GRRRRRRRRRRR, back to the drawing board, we'll get there in the end doll! x<br />
In the mean time i bloody love them so here are some belters for me and everyone else that actually has ears. <br />
Oh and just so you know i like to describe them as the love child of Springsteen and The Clash which i'm sure would please them more than 'mainstream American radio music' ha!<br />

1) It's a one dayer, brilliant, this means you can hit it hard all day and be safe in the knowledge that if the worst comes to the worst you can be home in your lovely bed within half an hour and not back to some shitty tent, (not that we will, we'll all end up in some warehouse over east, standard.)<br />
2) It's for proper music people, you wont find any jessie js or professor Greens on this line up and you certainly wont get any fucking mums and dads with little Tarquin and Jemima who simply must "get to the main stage to see Stevie Wonder" like you get at Glasto, no, it's proper music for proper people who wanna get properly fucked up.<br />
3) And most importantly, the line up is so strong every year that i honestly haven't bothered to check it until now, 3 days before the actual festival, i was that confident it would be good i just bought my ticket without even looking.<br />
So i have just this minute actually had a look and i've been proved right again, the line up is absolutely cracking. Below is my pick of the bands you should try and catch on each of the various stages, now i know some of these overlap in which case you will have to use your own judgement or, my tip for how to choose who to watch when bands overlap is...involve some sort of elaborate drinking game to decide who gets the nod, it's the best way...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday found me in a place you can normally find me on a Sunday with a can of Red Stripe in hand and a reggae bounce in my step, i do so love a Sunday afternoon in The Big Chill on Brick Lane skanking to some serious reggae vibes but tonight i was a couple of doors up at 1001 to check out hotly tipped new band Thank Pablo.</div><br />

</div> Thank Pablo describe their music as "sun-kissed quintessentially English pop that has been dragged through the backstreets of Africa, Spain, France and Jamaica" This is a pretty spot on statement. The lyrics are all romantic and nostalgic and very, very "English" with tales of growing up, falling in love, being scared of times a changing, most tracks would fit perfectly into a film about two childhood sweethearts that run off to the freedom of an English coastal town on an adventure away from the scary responsibilities that are approaching at home. The melodies are where the other influences come in and i really noticed the African jingle jangle of the guitar and bass, they have a very upbeat sound and my feet were tapping by about verse two of opener 'just friends'.<br />
The boys have been getting some serious airplay by very well respected radio DJs of late with Tom Robinson of BBC6 music raving about them and The Oracle himself, John Kennedy, The Godfather of new music on XFM throwing his weight behind them, Mr Kennedy has even invited them to play at his upcoming night at The Tooting Tram on the 20th of April, high praise indeed, oh and they supported some little band called Kasabian on Friday, dunno if you've ever heard of them??!<br />
All of this left me feeling pretty lucky to have seen the lads in this tiny venue on a rain lashed Tuesday night before they blow up.<br />

Cool band or what? yeah cool lads, full of northern charm and good haircuts and we all know it's about the haircuts don't we.<br />

</div>The Arts Club is a famous old venue that has a seen many great artists hit it's stage over the years aswell as hosting epic House music parties, it is a small cavernous space with low lights and a great atmosphere. It's a pretty perfect little joint to experience Awsa's brand of Electro pop. <br />
The room was practically full as Awsa and her band took to the stage and right from the off she had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand, she is a very charismatic front woman and her confident banter was very well received.<br />
By the second verse of opening track 'Maybe' most people were dancing and this pretty much set the standard for the rest of the show. The highlights for me came in the middle of the set with the incredibly charming 'Innocence', i love the playful tone of this song and you can actually here her accent on this track which i love, this was preceded by 'Do it again' which has a gloriously sleazy chorus that had me hot under the collar as i watched her sing the words on stage! This is the sort of song that Alison Goldfrapp and Kylie Minogue would love to get their hands on. Awsa does exude Scandinavian vibes which works to her advantage, i could hear the best bits of Robyn and The Knife in some of the music but she also has the stage presence and sex appeal of Lykke Li, i really like the Scandinavian angle and it is part of the draw for me.<br />
The show ended with a rousing rendition of 'If i could let go' with Awsa cutting one on the stage grinning from ear to ear, as i looked around the room that's pretty much what everyone else was doing too!<br />

Venue: Decent, smaller venues are always better, you don't need me to tell you this, right next to the tube at Notting Hill Gate too, sweet.<br />
Drinks: Before 9pm it was £2.50 a beer which is pretty reasonable but after 9pm it seemed to go up to £4.50, i know it's possible i may have been merked at the bar by a new waitress or something but if that was a genuine price hike then that is not on, after Awsa performed it was a club night so i can see this happening to be honest.<br />
Crowd: cool mix of mostly people in their late 20's and lots of hot girls which is always great.<br />
Ok, ok so we know Awsa is good but is she cool?: Yeah she's cool, she has that gorgeous Scandi thing going on and she was rocking a funky haircut with a sheer blouse over black bra combo, (which i'm loving on chicks right now, so take note girls, this is a good look, haha), she's a cool customer.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some of you may remember that i saw WU LYF play towards the end of last year at Shepard's Bush Empire. That gig went down as the second best live performance i had witnessed all year, that is some praise considering i must get through about 80 gigs a year, they were only bettered in my opinion by The Strokes set at Benicassim in the summer and you must take into account that i'm a Strokes obsessive and that night they played the greatest, greatest hits set anyone is ever likely to see them play. So you can imagine i was very much looking forward to seeing this band again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I should probably start by saying that Heaven has got to be the perfect place to see WU LYF, it's very intimate, it's all exposed brick walls and it's within railway arches deep under Charing Cross Station, it's beautifully, eerily lit and suits the drama that the band produce down to a T.<br />
I have always thought of WU LYF as more than just a band, to me they are like a cult, the huge throbbing neon crucifix that accompanies them on stage, the smoke that fills the room, the organ led sermon like tunes that build and build into blissed out euphoria, not to mention the vocals that are delivered with such ferocity like a preacher spitting down prophecies to his disciples. Even down to the merchandise on sale, all pins, tees and sew on patches emblazoned with the iconic crucifix image, heck i got so caught up in it that i even bought one to stick on my denim jacket, i'm more than happy to be a disciple.<br />

Tonight's set was great, the close setting suiting the band much more than some enormodome, every song was met with deep approval by the enraptured crowd and there was plenty of raving and crowdsurfing to some of the more uplifting moments, personal highlights for me on the night were:<br />
'Spitting blood' <a href="http://youtu.be/pDTEhWO2wyo">http://youtu.be/pDTEhWO2wyo</a>,<br />
'Heavy pop' <a href="http://youtu.be/SvsHJjldYW8">http://youtu.be/SvsHJjldYW8</a><br />
And finally i just cannot get enough of the pure elation of 'We bros' <a href="http://youtu.be/AaZ4voI4zA4">http://youtu.be/AaZ4voI4zA4</a><br />

<br />
Crowd: lot of cool kids, mixture of ages, i was actually impressed by the number of older people in the audience, i guess this reflects the quite sophisticated sound of such a young band.<br />
Venue: Heaven is one of the best small venues in London and i cant recommend it enough for live music.<br />
Drinks: Same as most places really but it still pisses me off that venues charge you nearly four quid for a fucking CAN of beer.<br />
So WU LYF, cool customers? Real deal? Or just a hyped gimmick?: The hype that surrounded this band at the beginning has been totally justified, they are instantly recognisable, they have a great individual sound and are really intelligent accomplished artists, in fact the only down side to the whole night was hearing Ellery Roberts state that unless they decide they have something important to say then these would be their last gigs, i wouldnt put this past a band that has always like to to do what is least expected of them but i for one hope they keep going because there is no one else like them out there today.<br />

My last two girlfriends were both proper northern lasses, i have millions of friends who come from 'oop north' and most importantly half my family moved up to Yorkshire when i was just a nipper. Tomorrow morning i'm going to grab my little bro Lee (remember him, Europe's 2nd best heating engineer) and we are jumping on the train up to visit 'Nan In The Front Row' for the weekend. This inspired me to think about all the great music that has come out of Northern England over the years, below are some of my fave tracks by Northern artists, click on the links and enjoy the tunes x<br />

Camden has always been great, for years now it has attracted all kinds of weird and wonderful characters and has been the hub of all the best live music and DJ sets in London. Last Friday i jumped on the Northern line and headed to NW1's best pub, The Lock Tavern to meet party starting Ca$hback DJs (and sisters) Ash and Steph Barker for what proved to be a great night of music, drinking and dancing. The girls were kind enough to sit down with me over a few beers before their set and have a little chat about what makes them tick and how they came to be putting on what has turned into one of London's best nights out.<br />

<i>S: we don't want just anybody coming in, it's normally friends, regulars etc, we never normally let big rowdy groups in,</i><br />
<i>A: we have people we don't really know that have been coming to the nights for ages, its a little exclusive but it has to be, that's how we want it and the place isn't huge so we want just the right amount of people in.</i><br />
<b>How often is Ca$back on? </b><br />
<i>S: it's only once every 3months now, it's too stressful and too much hard work to do it anymore than that. We both work other jobs, and mainly do this for fun,</i><br />
<i>A: it's so much easier having two of you doing it, it really helps and is more enjoyable.</i><br />
<i>S: it really helps if the bands are up for it too,</i><br />
<i>A: we have had bands that are a bit arsey and it makes everything more difficult but then we have had bands that we haven't been able to pay, just given them some food and drink and they have brought like 30 people down that have stayed and partied all night, if the bands really want it, it makes the nights go off a lot better.</i><br />
<b>You always get pretty good names here,</b><br />
<i>A: yeah we have had Tribes play about three times, Turbogeist, Bebe Black to name but a few,</i><br />
<i>S: we seem to be a lucky charm, every band that plays here seems to get signed pretty soon after!</i><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are a lot of bands that can claim to have played their first gig in the UK in front of 150 people in some shit hole in East London but there is only one band that can say that two of those 150 people were Morrisey and Boy George, That really is some praise to have those two musical heavyweights thinking you're good enough that they would come and check you out! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Incidentally you can hear the influence of these two icons all over The Drums and when i say that i mean it as a massive compliment, Jonathan Pierce's vocal delivery is pure dramatic Boy George, they both have voices that combine 60's soul diva's with a bit of Anthony Heggarty, the result is a very striking sound that is instantly recognisable. Also, boy, you can really tell The Drums love The Smiths. Not since the legendary Manchester band has anyone come close to perfecting the irony of tales of heartbreak, loss and despair set against pop hooks and melodies that are dreamy and floaty and jangly and impossible not to dance to, but The Drums do it to perfection, Moz would be proud! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>The Drums always put on great show, i remember being at Glastonbury during the last world cup, everyone was crammed into an area watching England vs Germany on the big screens, England did their usual and completely collapsed when it matters most, as the fourth German goal hit the back of the net every person there was pretty deflated and started to wander over to the John Peel tent where The Drums had just taken to the stage, 45 minutes later we were all feeling much better, the boys had put on a blistering show and had everyone buzzing, they are that kind of band, they have a feel good factor about them, anything that can get you over being stuffed by the Germans again is good right?<br />
Tonight's show was a belter from start to finish, it didn't even matter that it hadn't sold out cos those that were there were really up for it, Jonathan was his usual animated self and has his camp version of Ian Curtis' dance moves down to a tee, the larger live band makes for a much bigger sound and the rest of the boys have really perfected their instruments now, i remember in the early days they could barley play and used a backing track! haha how did they get away with that?!<br />
There were highlights dotted throughout the show with Days, Best friend and Forever and ever amen going down a treat but it was towards the end of the night that the really special moment came... totally out of the blue, the band introduced Boy George to the stage! He sang along with a couple of Drums tracks before he and Jonathan did an amazing duet on Culture Club classic Do you really want to hurt me, now George's voice is amazing but i was really impressed with how Jonathan held his own, the whole place erupted and it turned into a mass singalong, it was real 'i was there' moment and i feel very lucky to have witnessed it.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>The nine decades of Yayoi Kusama's life have taken her from rural Japan to the New York art scene to contemporary Tokyo, in a career in which she has continuously innovated and re-invented her style. Well-known for her repeating dot patterns, her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation. It ranges from works on paper featuring intense semi-abstract imagery, to soft sculpture known as "Accumulations", to her "Infinity Net" paintings, made up of carefully repeated arcs of paint built up into large patterns. Since 1977 Kusama has lived voluntarily in a psychiatric institution, and much of her work has been marked with obsessiveness and a desire to escape from psychological trauma. In an attempt to share her experiences, she creates installations that immerse the viewer in her obsessively charged vision of endless dots and nets or infinitely mirrored space.</b></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>At the centre of the art world in the 1960s, she came into contact with artists including Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Joseph Cornell and Claes Oldenburg, influencing many along the way. She has traded on her identity as an "outsider" in many contexts - as a female artist in a male-dominated society, as a Japanese person in the Western art world, and as a victim of her own neurotic and obsessional symptoms. After achieving fame and notoriety with groundbreaking art happenings and events, she returned to her country of birth and is now Japan's most prominent contemporary artist. </b></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>This is a varied, spectacular exhibition of a truly unique artist. There has never been an exhibition of this size of her work in the UK and this is an unmissable opportunity for both Kusama fans and those new to her work.</b><br />
