Singing the praises of The Gossip is a bit like singing the praises of cheese. I probably wouldn't be telling you anything you didn't know already. I braved the Hell on Earth that is Koko to see them at Club NME yesterday, a night that can surely only appeal to people with a thought process that runs "hmm, i've always wanted to know what it's like to be a veal calf in transit, but where can i get that experience and listen to Bloc Party at the same time?". They really were fabulous - tight, danceable punk-funk fronted by Beth Ditto, one of the most charismatic lead singers in the business. Listen Up was one of the highlights.
