A couple of weeks ago I went to see the Mules - Goran Bregovic meets the Pogues - at the charming, if somewhat seedy, Pleasure Unit in Bethnal Green.

To my delight, the Mules weren’t the only ones worth checking out, that night: the band headlining the evening (although I believe they were supposed to be 2nd on stage, originally) called, rather obscurely, Scarla O’, proved to be equally enjoyable- if not more.

Afterwards, I was thrilled to find out that said Scarla O’ are set to play again next week, on Friday 4th of November, at the Metro Club 19-23 Oxford Street - a spot that, I must confess, I have never had the chance to visit before, in spite of the fact it won Time Out best venue award last year.

If you are on the constant lookout for new bands to get excited about - to then show off your acumen, like I do, once they become big - then I can’t but recommend this one.
