This week, Londonist caught two bands at either end of the musical scale - American metal stars Wolves in the Throne Room @ Underworld and the ever great Elbow at an intimate Porchester Hall show. We also started offering you the chance to win tickets to see Late of the Pier on February 28th. We also previewed the forthcoming second iTunes festival, which starts this coming Thursday. Looking forward to this week however, Monday night......

Elbow have long been favourites of Londonistas past present and future, so a last minute opportunity to catch Guy Garvey and his band of burly Bury boys was too good to miss. And if this show, set in the stately Victorian, chandelier decked environs of Bayswater's Porchester Hall is merely a warm up for the real thing, then the real thing could be really quite special indeed. The sound is spot on, Garvey's voice......

Last time we told you about Arcade Fire gigs in London, tickets sold out in less than ten minutes. Tomorrow you have your second chance as the band have announced two dates at Brixton Academy. Gigantic in size, particularly compared to their Porchester Hall and St. Johns Church gigs, it should be much easier to get tickets. But don't be too complacent, a 9am start is probably still compulsory. The band play on Wed......

The first time The Arcade Fire played a gig in London we used words such as wonderful, genius, joyful, uplifting, indescribable, and danceable. If you missed out or simply want to see a man in a crash helmet being used as a drum again, then you probably want to get credit cards to the ready this morning. The Montrealers have announced a whole week of dates starting at the end of January where they'll......

Despite the backlash already having begun, here at Londonist, we still love Lily Allen and put her debut album Alright Still right up there in our albums of the year so far. So today we're delighted to offer you the chance to see her live at an intimate venue in West London. As part of mobile media company 3's plans to launch 3FrontRoom: a series of gigs where people can become a part of......
