Curmudgeonly post-punk/hip-hop pairing Sleaford Mods will hit the road this autumn, subsequent to the release of their archly titled and reliably antsy third album proper, Key Markets (23 Sep-9 Oct, tour starts The Ritz, Manchester) …
Cardiff DIY outfit Joanna Gruesome’s vocalist Alanna McArdle recently informed fans that mental health issues had prompted her to leave the band, mere weeks after the release of their second album Peanut Butter. Replacing her will be Kate Stonestreet and Roxy Brennan, and the new formation will take their melodious post-hardcore-influenced indie on tour in September (18-29 Sep, tour starts Islington Mill, Manchester) …
Following what’s sure to be a barnstorming Glasto set, P-funk progenitors George Clinton And Parliament Funkadelic are scheduled to land their (nowadays, unfortunately, non-literal) Mothership in north London (7 Aug, Electric Ballroom, NW1) …
Finally, six years after pairing up, south London grime duo Krept & Konan‘s major-label debut is due out in July; they’ll be taking it on tour later in the year (18-27 Nov, tour starts Plug, Sheffield)
