Django Django

We’ve got some more news on the Django Django front. In addition to Kwes dropping off the March 10th Glasslands show, Django Django have added a second NYC show on Monday, March 12 at Santos Party House, that BrooklynVegan is co-presenting with the folks at Neon Gold and Popgun Booking. Also playing will be Clock Opera and Charlie XCX who also share a bill on March 10 at Knitting Factory. Tickets are on sale now for the Santos show.

Clock Opera

Clock Opera‘s debut album, Ways to Forget, is out April 9 on Moshi Moshi. You can watch the video for the new single “Once and Again” at the bottom of this post. You can also stream their fantastic, radical reworking of Metronomy’s “The Bay” which is included on The English Riveria – The Unreleased Remixes.

Charli XCX

London’s Charli XCX got a lot of attention last year for her singles “Stay Away” and “Nuclear Seasons” both of which mined ’80s New Romantic synthpop. (You can watch the videos for both below.) She’s currently recording her debut album, working with bigshot producers Patrik Berger (The Good Natured, Robyn) and Ariel Rechtshaid (Glasser, Theopolis London) while still attending London’s Slade School of Fine Art (she’s only 19).

As mentoned above, both Clock Opera and Charli XCX are also playing Knitting Factory on Saturday March 10. That show with Sub Pop-signed Nikki & the Dove, and tickets are still on sale. And they’re all playing SXSW of course (Charli’s official show is the Pitchfork showcase).

Django Django have just released a stream for “Storm” which was actually the band’s first single nearly three years ago. You can stream the whole Django Django album at Spotify and buy it digitally wherever high-quality MP3s are sold.
