Hiya! :) I'm Nat, 21 years old and studying Music Journalism at the University of Huddersfield and I'm in my final year.
I currently intern at In House Press, I'm also the News Editor for No-Title magazine in Leeds and contribute to Silent Radio. If anyone has chance to read anything that I've written, then I hope you enjoy it!
The Neighbourhood have announced a trio of UK dates. The LA collective will visit London, Manchester and finish off in Glasgow in November. After making their debut EP, ‘I’m Sorry’ available for free download and becoming the hottest record in the world on Radio 1, they've been rightfully proclaimed as the next hype by Zane Lowe.
When I discover a new band, it's often the case that I will play that record incessantly for a few weeks to the point where I can't bear to listen to them for another few more weeks. I'm currently like this with Alt-J after posting about them many a time. Thankfully, that hasn't happened with The Neighbourhood and I’ll be going to their Manchester date. Although I was faced with a dilemma. My mood switched from that initial euphoria on finding out that one of your favourite new bands is finally coming to the UK, to then an abundance of expletives that trickled into my vocabulary when I checked that I was busy on that date. I already had plans. These plans involved me being at the 02 Apollo watching Gotye. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have Bernard’s watch or Hermione’s Time-Turner so I can’t be in 2 places at once. I think I’ve made the right decision though because I don’t think my ears could have coped with hearing the opening of ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’, then I would have liked to be in 2 places at once, rupturing the person's eardrums who inspired the song with each xylophone mallet. I love you really, Gotye. You can listen to The Neighbourhood's debut single 'Sweater Weather' that caused such a whirl of hype 6 months ago below.
