Check out Daytrotter for some great live downloads from 'Stamps house band Harlem Shakes, who may or may not have officially dropped the "The" from their moniker. And visit the same link again on Wednesday for two more songs, including one that may or may not involve a drum circle.
More live goodies at Pitchfork, where a KEXP studio cut from Philly twee-gazers A Sunny Day In Glasgow gets the streaming treatment.
Pitchfork also hearts Los Campesinos!, the British indie popsters who are headlining the August 11th Making Time. Can't say I'm completely sold on this bunch yet (Badminton's skepticism of exclamation point bands is well documented), but the lure of Metronomy (pic'd) spinning down in the basement will probably still be motivation enough for the hike over to Transit.
All this "live" talk have you jonesin' for a show tonight? Your most promising option looks like The Khyber, where Dr. Doggish Cheers Elephant open up for a tag team of Canadian acts in Dears guitar player gone solo Patrick Krief and propulsive Tokyo Police Club label-mates Uncut.
Download: Gorillaz - "El Manana" (Metronomy Remix)
Download: Los Campesinos! - "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives"
Download: Uncut - "Dark Horse"
Download: Patrick Krief - "Worries Are Over"
