The Review - MUSIC - grooves with RóISíN GADELRAB
Published: 23 July 2009

IMAGINE spending all that money to see Kings of Leon at a hot Spanish festival, only to be told they had to cancel due to “unsafe winds”.
I was jealous of my friends off partying at Benicassim but now I’m feeling a bit sorry for them.

• I spoke to world Beatbox champion Killa Kela this week about his Koko show on August 29.
His music has been shaped by advice from the likes of 50 Cent, Pharrell Williams and Super Furry Animals. Read the full interview in Grooves in the coming weeks. Old Kela is also playing the 1234 Shoreditch Festival on Sunday.
The Shoreditch Park line-up includes Lovefoxx (CSS), The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess, Patrick Wolf and The Rakes as well as more than 100 bands and DJs. Info from www.the

• Beach Boy Brian Wilson has announced a greatest hits show at the Roundhouse on September 3.

• There’s just two weeks left of The Station Sessions at St Pancras, a platform for the best in unsigned talent to share their craft with an international audience.
You don’t need to be rushing for a train to enjoy the show, just pass by the performance area from 6.30pm to 7.30pm tonight (Thursday) and next week (July 30).

• If you missed Madstock and Lovebox, there’s yet another Victoria Park party on the way. Field Day Festival gathers a collection of leftfield bands for a “village fete” of massive proportions. They’ve scooped Mogwai’s only English festival appearance, as well as The Horrors, Little Boots, Santigold, Mystery Jets, Toumani Diabate and Mumford and Sons are also on the line-up.
