The Noisettes @ ABC2, 18 Mar

Glitzy guitar trio The Noisettes return to promote their forthcoming second album Wild Young Hearts. If new single Don't Upset the Rhythm is anything to go by, they've successfully sidestepped the scuzzy garage buzz that their debut was built on, and are neatly skipping along with a polished, glamorous pop sound. Shingai Shoniwa's post-diva vocals hint at something more primal, but with a lucrative car advert doing the rounds, and a May tour with Maximo Park, they seem set to become the next unavoidable radio-friendly unit shifters. Before the inevitable does happen, you can catch them here for a more intimate affair. [Jamie Scott]
