LIVE GIGS + VENUES KARL OKEEFFE STAGE DIVING Another month, another live onslaught and I cant help but feel that things are hotting up: the big boys are beginning to flex their muscles, the up and coming acts are beginning to make their presence known and everyone is beginning to plan their summer festival activities. Well, with a host of events like Insomniacs Ball, Bloc Weekend and the Camden Crawl coming up, theres never been a better time to get some practice in. Now get out there and live it like you mean it! AIR If one phrase is likely to bring most music fans out in hives its the deplorable marketing-speak of chill-out. What precisely does that mean? Music to relax / fall comatose to? Surely all music, be it banging house or Debussy, is designed to help the listener relax. Chill-out sounds are a way for record companies to extract cash from accountants and actuaries desperately wanting to feel that they havent lost their cool. Well, you probably never had it and youre ruining the reputation of top acts like Air. Please desist and stay in the office so that we can all go see an outfit who defined what ambient music and celestial melodiousness could achieve. Synths and computers never sound as understanding as when in the hands of these French maestros, so ignore the labels and prepare to be amazed at how they expand on the studio magnificence with their full on live show. MARCH 14th - ABC ,Glasgow 15th - Academy, Manchester 16th - The Forum, London 17th - The Forum, London ARCADE FIRE Sweet Jesus in a jumpsuit, has a better band come tearing across the Atlantic in recent years than Arcade Fire? The audacity, the epicness, the sheer power of what they do has left many bands scratching their heads as they realise that the bar has been monumentally raised by this outfit that blew so many people away with debut Funeral. Combining some thundering rock orchestrations with the type of euphoric melodies and dynamics normally to be found in more gurn-friendly clubs, the group of multi-instrumentalists project an aura of magic and majesty even in their darker, more mysterious moments that will no doubt turn every venue they take over into their own malleable plaything. Abandon your will and place your senses in their hands as they showcase material from their forthcoming album Neon Bible. MARCH 14th 17th - Brixton Academy, London TERRY CALLIER Some musicians are simply too cool for school. They make the rest of the musicians out there look like miserably pathetic try-hards. Take Terry Callier for example. The man has a voice like molten chocolate being filtered through silk sheets into a martini glass by Audrey Hepburn. The man oozes sensuality and sophistication from every perfectly nuanced note he sings. Signed to the formidable Chess Records early on his career, the man pioneered the folk-jazz sound and created a genre defining record,What Color Is Love? in 1973. He went on to become a cult figure for a new generation of artists in the 90s. Working with the likes of Beth Orton, Koop, 4Hero, and more recently Massive Attack, Terry Callier is the bedrock upon which much of the more laidback grooves that came from this country since the mid-nineties have been built. Take the opportunity to catch him on this tour and increase your musical credibility in the eyes of your friends. Just dont wear a roll neck if you do manage to bag yourself a ticket. APRIL 3rd - The Mint Lounge, Manchester 12th - Komedia, Brighton 13th - Jazz Cafe, London 14th - Jazz Cafe, London 15th - TBC, Isle Of Wight CAMDEN CRAWL One of the strangest experiences of my 2006 was standing in a crowded bar in Camden at 5pm watching Wolfmother play to about 200 people, while outside people queued up for the bus home after work. It was the beginning of the Camden Crawl, undoubtedly one of the highlights of the year for those who like their concert-going to be intense and compacted. This year sees the event expanding to a second day, so expect two lots of 12 hour stints of some of the finest music youre likely to hear all year. At the time of going to press, line-ups were still to be announced, but be warned, you ignore this inner-city festival at your peril. With 80 bands playing at 15 venues all within walking distance of each other, expect much mayhem and some revelatory sets that will start to crystallise the movers and shakers for the coming year. Our only advice to you is to wear sensible shoes. APRIL 19th+20th - Various Venues Camden, London.
