CYMBALS EAT GUITARS - London headline show from this justly heralded up-and-coming New York band. Their highly original open-hearted, wide-eyed yet deeply introspective brand of indie-rock has seen rave reviews from their remarkably wave-inducing debut album out earlier this year. With shades of shoegaze and technicolour-tinged pop it's no surprise that the band have attracted praise from Brooklyn hipsters, tastemakers sites like Pitchfork and titans of indie-rock such as Flaming Lips, for whom they'll be opening alongside as part of this greatly anticipated tour of the UK.
