Katy Perry – Hammersmith Apollo, London 17/03/11
Hey, you there, with the guitar. Thinking about starting a band? Contemplating the glamour of playing the country’s finest basement venues? Toying with the idea of developing a casual hard drug habit? I wouldn’t bother if I were you. Katy Perry has rendered your anachronistic artform irrelevant.
Niva – Feverish Dreams EP

Murder – Gospel of Man
While Murder continue to switch persona readily from song to song, adopting several different narrative voices, the dominant theme that emerges to tie the album together is, in a half-expected twist, one of unstable identity. Adam Nelson reviews the hugely impressive return of the Danish duo.
Mi Ami – Dolphins
A rather perplexing and obtuse set of songs that fail to provide any musical relief whatsoever. Matt Conner reviews former Touch & Go duo Daniel Martin-McCormick and Damon Palermo under their latest guise of Mi Ami.
tUnE-yArDs – Bizness
Incredibly choreographed and directed, the latest video from tUnE-yArDs is an absolute must see.
