NME Best New Bands
The NME Awards, founded by the British music magazine NME, are an annual music awards show. Think a much cooler, hipper version of Spin Magazine. These are the bands that are already big in the UK but are just starting to come to the States – which translates to them playing small venues here in San Francisco. Mumford and Sons was just at Popscene a week ago and luckily, The Big Pink is coming to The Great American Music Hall on March 10th, La Roux to The Fillmore on April 15th and The xx opening up for Hot Chip at Fox Theater on April 16th.
Was going to focus on the winner, but worth checking out all the bands…
