TONIGHT: MALCOLM MIDDLETONS LONG DARK NIGHT, PLUS NEW LOCAL NATIVES SHOW
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Tonight is MALCOLM MIDDLETON's Long Dark Night. An intimate evening with Scotland's second favourite Arch-Miserablist and Ex Arab Strap vocalist. Hopefully uplifting, quietly depressing, Malcolm will perform a collection of comforting wintery acoustic songs about love, hate, death, and other stuff.
Joining Malcolm Middleton is boy-girl folk pop duo CURLY HAIR, who have the literate light/shade of Belle and Sebastian, the dark yet somehow bright twin melodies of The Moldy Peaches, and the promise of recent indie darlings Slow Club.

LOCAL NATIVES play London's Heaven as part of their first ever headline tour. The Los Angeles quintet makes music that crackles with frenetic beats, agile melodies and cascading harmonies, tightly assembled in songs that advocate, in varying degrees of exuberance and wonderment. Their harmonic style is indicative of the influence of hazy beach bums of 60s SoCal and zombified Brit pop, while their percussion philosophy derives from somewhere more natural: a unifying connection between the five-piece developed over hours spent living together in their own guerilla hideaway in Silverlake, California. The album has the warmth and instant attraction of hearing the Fleet Foxes, mid period Talking Heads or Band of Horses for the first time.
