Fenech Soler @ Crawdaddy
First up is Fenech Soler at Crawdaddy next Friday. I first came across Fenech Soler last year as a result of their stonking remix of Marina & the Diamonds' 'Hollywood. After further investigation, I discovered that they had an entire arsenal of killer electropop tunes of their own. I'm still at a loss as to why 'Lies' wasn't a monster hit but, with new single 'Stop and Stare' cherrypicked for the forthcoming installment of the ultra-trendy Kitsuné Maison music compilation, their star is certainly in the ascent. Tickets are a snip at €8.

Evelyn Evelyn @ The Academy
Next week, goth-pop princess Amanda Palmer's latest venture Evelyn Evelyn rolls into town. I first saw Amanda play with The Dresden Dolls in The Spiegeltent in Edinburgh a few years ago and it remains one of my all-time favourite gigs. Evelyn Evelyn is a collaboration between Amanda and a number of other artists, including musician Jason Webley. Honestly, I haven't had a chance to listen to the album properly but I fully intend to sink my teeth into it before the gig at The Academy on the 19th.

The Hundred In The Hands @ Crawdaddy
On the 2nd of May, The Hundred In The Hands play Crawdaddy, shortly before the release of their debut EP. Their track 'Dressed In Dresden' is one of my staple playlist inclusions so I've high hopes for their new material.

Tegan & Sara @ The Olympia
A little further off, but probably the most likely to sell out, is Tegan & Sara on 15th of June. The Canadian sisters' album 'The Con' is one of my favourite records and they've a pretty solid reputation as a live act, so expect to find me screeching away to 'Back In Your Head' in The Olympia.
