Simian Mobile Disco (live), The Arches, Glasgow, 9 Feb

While the nation is still catching its breath following last year's storming support slots for both the Chemical Brothers and Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco are once again preparing to bring their live show on the road. Formed after their old band Simian disbanded, the duo James Ford and Jas Shaw have been pursuing their love for confident electronic music ever since. This series of gigs will allow fans the chance to see unique live translations of the incendiary hits like It's the Beat and latest release Hustler, which made their debut, Attack Decay Sustain Release, one of 2007's must-have albums. With support coming from Kitsuné labelmates The Whip, an intriguingly brilliant electro four-piece from Manchester on the brink of releasing their debut album, it is not to be missed. [Emma Kilday]
