Band of Horses @ ABC

Daft Punk recently announced that they would not be releasing any DVD evidence of their award winning Alive tour from last year. This decision, they explained, was designed to keep the experience special and personal for those that attended. Taking that notion one step further last year was Band of Horses' frontman Ben Bridwell who got into a verbal scrap and a whole heap of online bother after abusing fans who were using visual recording equipment at a San Diego gig. "Is there no sanctity left for live performance with going to a show and seeing it with your own eyes and remembering it?" he moaned. The South Carolina based indie-folksters gallop into Glasgow this month. After releasing two acclaimed albums in as many years, this show should be an essential date in anyone's diary. But heed this warning, eh? Best leave the cameras at home for this one; you might not get out alive. [Finbarr Bermingham]
