News The Neu Bulletin (10th October 2012)

Nights out and new band recommendations come in plentiful supply with Neu’s daily guide to all the goings on in new music.

WHO’S PLAYING WHERE?
ParadYse records put on an industry showcase of sorts tonight, with darlings Theme Park - set to release their debut full-length next year - headlining a show with latest signing LULS supporting.

LULS and Theme Park play London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, tonight. Details here.

WHO’S MAKING WAVES?
Perish the thought thatAnimal Collective didn’t fill the oddball pop quota with ‘Centipede Hz’, an influx of new bands inspired by their tye-dye psychedelia are emerging out of the cracks. Peace Arrow are the finest. Shy in revealing too much about themselves for the time being, there are some curious little lyrical tidbits to discover on their bandcamp page, all for discovering while listening to ‘Gems’.
