A QUICK reminder to anyone not heading for the Camden Crawl – though can’t imagine what else you want to do with the long weekend – you can still feel like part of the festivities by catching Graham Coxon, Marques Toliver and more at their Levi’s Crawl set at Proud Camden on Sunday for a separate £10 ticket. Entry free to Crawl wristband holders.
And in case you didn’t see my appeal in our final preview, remember to tweet any Crawl news, sightings, gossip or secret gig rumours to me @roisingadelrab, I’ll be reporting the whole weekend live on Twitter.
• Really sorry to hear about the death of X-Ray Spex frontwoman Poly Styrene. Poly, whose real name is Marianne Elliot Said rejoined the band for a one-off show at Camden Roundhouse in 2008.
In a tribute this week, Jonathan Ross told how X-Ray Spex were the first live band he ever saw – at the Hope & Anchor in Islington.
• Coming up at the Union Chapel – Paloma Faith’s special charity show (May 5) to help raise funds for a friend who suffered brain damage in an accident. She will be joined by Noisettes, her X-Factor favourite Rebecca Ferguson, Michael Nyman, Claire Maguire, Rox, Alfie Boe, David Arnold & Ricky Wilson and the night will be hosted by Keith Lemon.
• Remember when James was great? Maybe Tim Booth can recreate some of their heyday magic when he headlines Koko on Tuesday – maybe he can fill us in.
• Former Record of the Week contenders and all-round new favourites Warehouse Republic play The Bowery on Wednesday – what else have you got do?
• Anyone got a golden ticket for Hugh Laurie’s Union Chapel show on Wednesday? Let me know, is he a better musician or actor?

RECORD OF THE WEEK - WAREHOUSE REPUBLIC, Revolver
REVOLVER - the only word necessary to learn this chorus - will never sound the same again.
Forevermore, any utterance of said retro handgun - see every good gangster movie - will trigger Warehouse Republic's soundtrack in your mind, saturated in in dirty blues-rock vibes, with a messy soulful guitar solo to match. Sounds delightfully dangerous and the video has a bit of bite to it too.
Revolver out this week.
Warehouse Republic play an acoustic set at The Good Ship, Kilburn, on December 17.

WAREHOUSE REPUBLIC'S BLAZING CALAMITY + BAD SANTA'S KOKO DINOSAUR PILE-UP + THE LUMINAIRE'S LAST STAND + CLASSY FLORENCE JOELLE
BAND of the moment Warehouse Republic are hot.
Sadly so hot that guitarist Charlie Flynn’s house just burned down, devouring all he owns, including five guitars. He jumped from the attic window, breaking his fall on the porch, escaping with minor injuries. Go on Fender, help them out.
But this misfortune hasn’t put them off their campaign to save the 100 Club or their planned appearance at The Good Ship (Dec 17) – acoustic while Charlie recovers. A chance to see them in a small venue before they shoot into the stratosphere. Judge them by fantastic single Revolver released this week.
• The Riff Raff play 02 Academy Islington tonight (Thurs). Drawing influences from indie, ska, folk and classical music, band were were one of the main highlights of BBC Introducing’s New Music Radio 1 Stage at Glastonbury.
• Koko’s Christmas party is here. See Dinosaur Pile Up and Kassidy tomorrow (Dec 10) and visit Bad Santa in the gallery - free entry to anyone in full fancy dress between 9pm and 11pm.
• The Luminaire may be closing but it’s not leaving without uncovering the next great student musicians. The top three bands in national student Battle of the Bands duel to the death on (Dec 13) – hear the tunes we’ll be downloading in 2011. Hear all the tracks here: www.studentbeans.com/battleofthebands
• Miss Florence Joelle is a class act, evoking the mood and glamour of the 40s/50s, adding a modern twist and balancing between blues and jazz with finesse. See her at The Fiddler’s Elbow, Malden Road (Dec 14).
• The Camden Crawl’s building momentum with CC2011 TIPS #3. Get to know the bands who will appear on the full scale crawl, ft Wild Palms, Bear Driver, The Slow Revolt and Heart Kill Grant at The Bull & Gate (Dec 15).

• Manchester band The Quangos have already won support slots with Kid British and Ten Bears and now they're coming to London. Always room for another good northern band as far as I'm concerned. See them play The Dublin Castle on December 11.
