Mitchell Museum @ King Tut's, 1 Aug

Article by Chris Cusack | 22 Jul 2009

Quite aside from the fact that their brilliant, infectious new single Tiger Heartbeat is due to be released on multi-coloured cassette, there is something wonderfully nostalgic and childish about Mitchell Museum. In every three minute burst of eccentric, jubilant pop they epitomise that period of your life before you were even aware of the need for employment and you could wear anything you damn well pleased – be it your mum's shoes, your dad's wellies or your dinner – because it wasn't all about trying to impress the opposite sex or look presentable. Surely every right-thinking person pines for that. What better way then to once again, albeit fleetingly, surrender yourself to childish abandon and go see these guys work their magic.

8.30pm, £5

Also playing Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh on 23 Aug.
