I haven't seen a local band in London that really blew me away live in forever. From elsewhere in the UK I was really taken with Charles Hayward and Ashtray Navigations recently, but they are not satisfyingly young. I like Hype Williams, who if I'm not mistaken are from East London or live there, or whatever. I was going to see them play and I didn't because of other commitments, so I've checked out some live videos and they range from mediocre to good. I still wanna see them, though, because I mostly like their recorded output. I saw Gum Takes Tooth recently, who were good but not mindblowing. There's a group of Japanese residents called Bo Ningen who are wild. Again, not mindblowing, even though I saw their drummer playing in a duo with some other guy and they were THE SHIT.
