PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING
DAV I D O'DOHERT Y
The rise and fall of the Welsh mining industry may not be the first choice of subject for chart success, but Public Service Broadcasting’s use of voices from old information films over inspired instrumentals competed with Jay-Z and Ed Sheeran last year, as their third album, Every Valley, reached number four. They play the Corn Exchange on 10 April and tickets are £29. Cornex.co.uk

ALEX CAMERON
THE VACCINES
Aussie artist Alex Cameron comes to Cambridge this month to deliver a dose of his 80s-washed, sleazy synthpop. We hope you’re ready. Looking like a bad boy love interest from Neighbours circa 1990 and singing about seedy romantic encounters, mundane addictions and crushing self-loathing, his name is often attached to the adjective ‘Lynchian’, which gives a good sense of the creepy kookiness which has become his calling card. Catch him doing his thing on 14 April at Cambridge Junction; tickets are £12.50. junction.co.uk
Indie four-piece The Vaccines hit the Corn Exchange on 6 April as part of a tour in support of their latest release, Combat Sports. The band first sprang onto the scene in 2011 with the hugely hyped What Did You Expect from The Vaccines? Since then, they’ve racked up over a million album sales, scooped the NME Award for Best Band and opened for the likes of The Stone Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Combat Sports is their first outing after a three year hiatus and sees them returning to their roots, with a crop of big, brash, rocky numbers. Tickets are £25.50. cornex.co.uk
