The Quietus putting on brilliant Melbourne trio My Disco is becoming something of an autumn tradition for us. In 2010, we hosted them supported by Factory Floor and Snowman. In 2011, they came back, this time with Blood Music... and in 2012 My Disco will once again take to the stage at London's Lexington. The gig will be a follow-up to their appearance at Supersonic Festival the weekend before - what better way to recover from the rigours of Digbeth, says us. For My Disco are, hands down, one of the most powerful live groups going at the moment, from the Antipodes or anything else. Their minimal, intense music, last year on the fantastic 2011 album Little Joy (one of our favourites of the year) is perhaps best described as being "like a techno Shellac"... in fact, they're so stripped-down they make Albini's crew sound like King Crimson. They will get us a dance-off going and no mistake.

This October (23rd to be precise) we're putting on a Supersonic Festival after gig type thing at the Lexington, with Melbourne's My Disco headlining. Now, you like drums, right? All My Disco fans surely must. You'll therefore be pleased to know that The Quietus' percussion hero, Kid Millions of Oneida, is bringing his Man Forever project over to the UK for Supersonic, then heading down to London to deliver some fierce rolls before My Disco at the Lexington. Kid Millions will be joined by a band of guest musicians, potentially including some of Teeth Of The Sea and The Oscillation. Nice stuff. We're told their last performance, at London's Cafe Oto, was a near sell-out smash... will it end in the sort of bloody execution that our review of the great Man Forever album suggested?
