January is still looking pretty bleak, but there’s a great list of new additions, with many of those featuring in the end of year yokes we’ve been doing here, such as Warpaint, Twin Shadow (you have to go to that one john!), Sleigh Bells, Tallest Man on Earth which are all something to look forward to. Glasser are also playing, who come highly recommended from the many bloggers around. It’s a pretty stong first six months of the year, which is good news!

There’s a good few ‘last minute christmas presents’ on the list also, if you’re frantically looking.
