• Thursday, September 09 Rockfeedback presents Ultrasound - downstairs DJ Heidi Heelz 8pm Sold Out Sorry!

  When Tim Smith of the Cardiacs suffered (ironically) a heart attack, Ultrasound were asked to reform for a benefit concert to raise money for him, so at the start of the new decade, the 5 members of Ultrasound met, and with 4 clicks of the sticks, arrived back home. This sees a special reunion gig in the capital to celebrate a recent reformation. Predominately active in the late 90s, Ultrasound burst into the spotlight with their own blend of 70s prog and glam-infused indie at the height of Britpop, touring to their own large fanbase and with the likes of Placebo and their debut album charting at 23. They split up at the end of the 90s due to tensions in the end. Now back together - this marks a sneak preview of material classic and new for the cult band - former media darlings (Tiny once appeared on the front cover of the Independent for running naked onto the catwalk with the words "Unique" written with make-up on his belly at London Fashion Week), fan faves and legendary characters alike.

• Tuesday, September 14 Bird On The Wire - Nurses 7.30pm adv £7

  To immerse yourself in Nurses' Apple's Acre is to delight in a certain mental unraveling. These are songs where the vulnerability of pop with its heart on its sleeve engages in a double-dutch jumprope match with the euphoric surrender-to-the-weird that is essential to psychedelia. And Nurses is a band that scavenges beauty and wonder, uncovering Technicolor where others see somber hues. Their off-kilter psych-pop is driven by ever-swelling vocal harmonies, adventurous electronics, some serious wheelin' and dealin' on the Rhodes piano, and the kind of new-primitivist percussion that may or may not involve a standard drum kit.

• Sunday, September 26 Pull Up The Roots presents: Corinne West & Kelly Joe Phelps - downstairs Luchador 7pm £15, adv £14

  Corinne West and Kelly Joe Phelps perform as a duo.
  
  Traveling for years the same well-worn roads of the touring musician (crossing paths constantly, missing one another by a day here or a week there), it wasn't until the end of 2009 that Corinne West and Kelly Joe Phelps found the opportunity to play music together. Performing alongside Corinne on a series of CD release shows for her most recent record 'The Promise', Kelly Joe discovered that he'd met a true musical partner, and she the same. The next thought was simultaneous and obvious - forge their respective solo careers into one as a duo.
