If you get the chance to see a band called “Maladies”, jump at it. Very cool, very strange: the guy’s voice almost sounds like a woman’s, and they have this Nick Cave graveyard swing going on. They’re playing at the Hopetoun this Saturday, but I’ll be at Damo Suzuki + Pivot at the Mandarin club, with any luck. (The guy played in Can, there’s no way that’s missable.)

I’d also like to put in a hearty hell-yeah for popfrenzy. I’ve been along to quite a few of their gigs just on spec, and they’ve all been awesome. All hail Levins.
