There’s a fair few gigs on the horizon. Here’s some that have caught my eye:

Einsturzende Neubauten. Koko, Tuesday, 24/04/2007. Alan and I already have tickets for this one.

Twisted Records Label Party – 25th of May 2007 – Brixton Academy. “Headlining will be a live set from psychedelic funk masters, Hallucinogen in Dub only ever seen once before on stage at Glastonbury with Ott and Simon Posford (Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Younger Brother) on guitars and effects, and with the legendary Youth (producer of The Verve, Embrace & Celtic Cross) on bass. Other acts include – Maestro of the sonic arts, Ott, previewing new material from his eagerly awaited second album, Simon Posford with a thrilling Shpongle DJ set , and Benji Vaughan’s Prometheus. Old school favorites Eat Static and Koxbox need no introduction and will be playing as well as Twisted’s very own label manager Simon Holtom and other favourites including Youth, Simon Baring, Third Ear, Greg Hunter and many many more”. It’s not cheap (£25), but I’m a definite for this one.

Amon Tobin, Electric Ballroom, Wednesday, April 11, 7:00 pm. It’s only a tenner too. I saw him last summer – true ninja beats. Not to be missed.

Alec Empire, Saturday 14 April 2007, All day Event, 3PM – 2AM, Coronet Theatre. He’s doing an electronic set as part of “This is our Punk Rock”, with a large lineup including Warp DJs and a laptop set by Mira Calix. £15.00.

Murder By Death play Bush Hall, 310 Uxbridge Road, Wed 11/04/2007. It’s also only a tenner, but I think Amon wins this one. I’ve seen them 3 times over the last year though and totally recommend them.
