AT THE GLAD: Sat 24 Jan: Son of Kirk/ Hummingbird/ Emperors of Rome Son of Kirk mix the purest of fiddle folk tones with intricate contemporary drum rhythms, sweeping cello accompaniment and syncopated guitar lines. Four part harmonies create overlapping vocal threads,inspired by tribal and folk traditions. If DJ Shadow played drums in an acoustic folk group, it would be Son of Kirk. Great musicianship, soaring vocals and gorgeously accessible songs with a fine sense of melody make for a strikingly original alt-folk ensemble. https://youtube/watch?v=NwurKlvM67Q Son of Kirk onstage at 10.00 pm London four piece Hummingbird specialise in super smart lo-fi pop. Quirky arrangements, clever lyrics and hooks that linger long after theyve gone combine to make for an exciting new act that nod to both the lo-fi American scene and the classic UK indie era, all the while staying sharp enough to avoid being defined by either. https://youtube/watch?v=T6df_MAbaJo Hummingbird onstage at 9.15 pm Drums and guitar, male and female duo Emperors of Rome have something of the night about them. Their classic sounding songs summon the sprits of the Velvets Sunday Morning and Pale Blue Eyes and the Mary Chain at their Spectre obsessed peak, while Leonard Cohen and Antonio Badalamentis Twin Peaks soundtrack hide in the background. reverbnation/emperorsofrome Emperors of Rome onstage at 8.30 pm
