Ones to watch

ELLIOT MINOR - Two shows on presale Thursday (9am and noon).

From supporting McFly to gate crashing the top 40, these pop punk sensations take their influence from Blink-182, Something Corporate, and Green Day.

KARIMA FRANCIS - Two London gigs on sale.

Musically she's highly emotive reminding us of tracy Chapman or even a female Leonard Cohen and is about as far away from KT Tunstall as you can imagine. This is a must see gig!!!

THE CRIMEA - Two London gigs on presale Thursday at noon.

They received high praise from John Peel - the legendarily impassioned British DJ called Lottery Winners On Acid "one of the best songs I've heard in years".
