On Saturday night I had a fab time seeing three bands I’ve never seen before and one that I have at the Vic. And they were:
Mexican Kids At Home who played a lovely lot of what I guess you’d call indiepop. If you imagine something like The Marine Girls crossed with Jonathan Richman via Architecture [...]

Oooh, so many facts and [...]
