Deerhoof ‘Qui Dormes, Només Somia’
First up this week, some Catalan props. Here’s the ace, wonky opener from Deerhoof Vs Evil. As ever, it’s the sound of a band who just have a whole bunch of fun playing together.
Becoming Real ‘Closer’
I pretty much can’t get enough of Becoming Real’s lush, late-night grooves. This’un is all squelchy 2-step, topped with some particularly sweet R & B vocals.
Ab-Soul ‘Terrorist Threats’
LA rap collective Black Hippy made some of the most exciting hip-hop of the past year, fact. One quarter of their number, Ab-Soul’s début album Control System is up now to stream on Stereogum.
THEESatisfaction ‘Queens’
I guess it was pretty obvious that I’d be putting a THEESatisfaction tune on this week’s Listening Post, given how much I’ve been harping on about them on Facebook and Twitter in the past couple of weeks. ‘Queens’ sees them in full Erykah Badu soul mode, over goodtime, De La Soul-type beats. Get tickets for their show on 5th June here.
We are very, very excited to have Subpop’s amazing hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction playing at The Harley on 5th June, in support of their debut album Awe Naturale.
We’ll be going on sale with the show on Friday, so keep ‘em peeled.
Don’t funk with our groove…

Thankyou so much to everyone that came to, played at, DJed at or worked on Saturday night’s roller disco. Y’all look sweet on wheels.
Here’s the view from the DJ booth, c/o the Sky Larkin DJs. If you got any good snaps from the night, we’d love to see them. Sharing is caring, after all.
You can also go here to see Drowned in Sound’s pics, thanks to Gary Wolstenholme.
We’re already thinking about the next one, so head on over to Facebook and go like us for all the latest.
First up, a bit of bad news. Unfortunately, The Proper Ornaments have had to pull out from the show. We’re dead keen to get them to play for us though, so will be looking to reschedule as soon as possible.
This does mean we will be opening doors a little later, at 8.30pm instead of 7.30pm, so you have an extra hour to get decked out in your roller gear.
Here’s the new running order for the night:
8.30pm – Doors
9.00pm – Breathe Out
10.00pm – Novella
11.00pm – Ghosting Season
12.00am – Errors
01.00am – Polinski
Your DJs for the evening are Death By Shoes, Small Ideas and Sky Larkin, who will be playing between and after the bands.
Advance tickets are still available from http://bit.ly/rolledschoolearlybirds, and in person at The Harley (Glossop Road), The Wick At Both Ends (West Street) and The Old Sweet Shop (Nether Edge), and will be until Saturday afternoon.
It’s now not long til the truly excellent Cate Le Bon plays at The Harley, and we can’t wait. She’ll be releasing her second album CYRK a few days after the show, and in the meantime, is releasing a limited Record Store Day split with none other than Gruff Rhys.
Here’s the poster for the show, along with the awesomely 70s TOTP stylings of the video for latest single ‘Puts Me To Work’. You can also check out some tunes from H Hawkline, who will be opening the show. Enjoy.
