15th March at The Slaughtered Lamb, Great Sutton Street, EC1

Howard Monk’s ‘The Local’ nights have become a beacon of new leftfield music, from the theatrical neu-folk of Sam Amidon and David Thomas Broughton to the glacial electronica of Valgeir Sigurðsson or the feel-good country of Caitlin Rose. Tonight, he presents a true innovator in the critically garlanded Napoleon IIIrd, who thoroughly douses his wonky pop music in psychedelic noise, brass and reverb. Amor de Dias lay on their tropical psych-folk in support, and Jules Ettiene opens, with his eclectic multi-instrumental oddness. Unmissable.
