Newcastle Music Scene: March

Another great month for music in Newcastle, all venues are packed with a great line-up for March. The pick of the bunch was an easy choice really, Mumford & Sons at Newcastle Union. I was extremely excited for this gig even more so when i found out Fanfarlo are supporting them. Mumford & sons have already established themselves as one of the best new bands both on record and live, I can't quite believe my luck that they are playing such a small venue with such an excellent support band.

Finally an official video for 'Airplanes'. Local Natives have been on the indie radar for quite a while with NME and music blogospheres taking notice. Their impressive debut album 'Gorilla Manor' has been all over my playlist since its release and i am equally impressed with the video they have produced here. I have also included a fan made video for airplanes which is equally impressive if a little more unofficial. Enjoy.

Camera Talk - Local Natives

Another new band for you, this time its west coast, California to be exact. Local Natives album sounds like its going to be big, both in the US and the UK, with so many good varied tracks its hard to see how there hasn't been more hype surrounding the release of their new album 'gorilla Manor'. They remind me of Vampire weekend's rhythmical playfulness and the lyrics and lead singers voice have a distinctive "The Shins" feel about them. Normally i can quite easily pick a track to post from an album but this one is a tough choice. I have gone for 'Camera Talk' but 'Aeroplanes' and 'Warning Signs' are worth listening to as well. Enjoy.
