Since I seem to be using this blog to document general cultural activity that I engage in, let me record my trip last night to the Scala near King's Cross in London to see Horsegirl play.
At the start of the year I had not heard of Horsegirl, but I came across an advert on social media for their new album and thought they sounded like they'd be up my street. Listening to the album confirmed that, yes, they were really a great example of the kind of genre I like - something between the Velvet Underground, Electrlane, Stereolab, and Honey Tongue, with a sound that is nevertheless distinctively their own.
Having had their album quickly establish myself as my favourite album of the year so far, I checked out to see if they just happened to be playing London soon. They are from Chicago, but with a record out I thought they might tour and - yes! I saw that they had a gig coming up. Unfortunately it was sold out and I accepted my fate not to see them on this tour. A bit later I thought I'd just look up in case some tickets had been returned or more released or something. They hadn't, but they had decided to add an extra date so that they'd play Scala twice.
So there I was last night, enjoying my new favourite band:
