March's Recommendations

___The Cindys _@ Windmill Brixton £11 _{Breakfast Records} - Jangling guitars and quips in a soft baritone register – with their eponymous 2025 debut Bristol’s Jack Ogborne reinvents some of the songs of his retired no-wave-Sinatra group Bingo Fury (a Pindrop favourite…we’re still in mourning). With satisfying crunch and harmonies aided by songwriter Naima Bock, The Cindys are catchy yet always tasteful. Perfectly curated supports from Exeter’s Pushbike and Leed’s Vehicle, two groups who have been at forefront of this melody revolution. tickets

06

___Osibisa: Celebrate Ghanian Independence _@ Fox and Firkin £24.57 - Formed in 1969 in London from a group of Ghananian and Caribbean expatriates, Osibisa spearheaded ‘afro rock’, a style sweetly marrying American psychedelic rock, jazz, and West African afrobeat and highlife (in fact the name Osibisa comes from the Fante word for highlife). Always exciting, their tunes are heavy on the horns, woodwind, and percussion, and generous with organ and spitty guitar solos. tickets

07

___Divine Noise All-Dayer _@ New River Studios £10 _{Big Richard Records} - Bring a family pack of cotton buds because your ears will be bleeding by the end of the night. Headlined by Sly & The Family Drone who have been laying down glitchy, spasming no-jazz in the capital since 2010. Sax squeals, rupturing bass and blistering drums galore. The entire lineup is stacked nonetheless, with Rampressure’s droning noise, jawharp’s dense, unrelenting emoviolence, Omertà’s brash garage punk, the free-jazz cabaret of Liverpool’s Domestic Partners, giddy mathrock from Van Quan and (last but not least) Komo’s lofi slacker rock. tickets

11

___3D Jesus _@ George Tavern £5 _Buzzzcut - An uncovential quartet of tenor saxophone, violin, guitar and drums, 3D Jesus don’t play often, but when they take the stage they stir the cosmic pot with swelling, sonorous dynamics that twist you into spiritual ecstasies. We’re eagerly waiting a release. A must-see support comes from Kissing Gate, who blew our minds with their 2025 record Funny Dream – sweet chiming chamber-rock songs with cascading instrumental sections between their smart, touching lyrics. tickets
