DE LA SOUL @ jazz cafe

The Daisy Agers are still touting a little happy hip-hop splendour at these club dates. A hip West Coast antidote to the gangsta culture of the mainstream. Parkway, NW1 (0171-916 6060) 16-19 Jun

MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES @ astoria

A lively bunch of Yanks who have managed to export Madness-influenced ska back to England - boy, these guys must be good.
