So May came...and went...with yet more - much more - rain.
It also brought the debut albums from Citizens!, Zulu Winter and Talk In Colour - all very fine things they transpired to be and well worth a listen.
The aforementioned Zulu Winter also embarked on their first headlining UK tour and played a mighty fine homecoming gig at London's Boston Arms. Using visuals for the first time, this was a show to be proud of. A few days later I caught up with their bass player Iain for a chat. Such a lovely person and a real fun interview to do.

Much good music came by my ears - not least Dope Body, which I feel sure surprised many given as they border on the 'heavy'! But Shook, from the new 'Natural History' album, is just, well...dope!
Caught the wonderful Splashh playing a fine hot and steaming set at an even hotter Old Blue Last, along with current hypesters Japandroids. Both names to watch out for. The Canadian rockers have just released their 'Celebration Rock' album.
And yet again, can't say how awesome the Brooklyn trio GHXST (pronounced 'ghost') are proving to be. My biggest success of the month being introducing them to Xfm's John Kennedy, resulting in plays of both 'Doomgirl' and the new single 'Black Camaro'.
