West End Girls is a monthly gig hosted by Tiny Minds Agency at The Bearded Lady in West End, highlighting femme-fronted bands and artists. This month’s show, on Thursday June 16, featured Mellow, Fomi, and MoZza. The three groups provided a mix of alt, grunge, psychedelic, and indie rock to form a night of high energy in the intimate venue of the Beardo’s back room.

It’s not often a Grime artist such as Novelist takes the twenty-two hour flight down under, particularly less than a fortnight after the release of his exciting sophomore album 4 Tha Homiez. The idiosyncratic young MC hailing from the south London borough of Lewisham capped off a three-leg tour of Australia with a sharp, concise yet engaging performance.
