[Watch] The Kills - "DNA" x "Sour Cherry" Live on Last Call

The Kills returned to the TV sets of many last night with a visit to Carson Daly at Last Call. We've seen plenty of footage in recent months as the band celebrated their 10th anniversary as a band and last night they delivered not one but two great performances which can be enjoyed right here. Up at the top you can watch Alison and Jamie perform "DNA" whilst after the jump you'll be treating you eyes and ears to a performance of "Sour Cherry". Props to The Audio Perv for the video hook up as always.

[News x Watch] Radiohead Announce UK Dates, Debut Another New Song Live

UK Radiohead fans, rejoice! The band has just announced a string of three UK dates set for October this year. One at Manchester's MEN Arena on the 6th of Oct. and two at London's O2 Arena on the 8th and 9th. No doubt the shows will be a must see! Also to help prevent ticket touts/scalpers, it's going to be a strict paperless ticketing system. Pretty cool. Jump over here for more details.

As well as his last week we saw the band debut two new tracks on the opening night of their huge "King of Limbs" Tour and they've done it again. Unveiled in Dallas last night the track s titled "Skirting on the Surface" which can be seen via some fan shot footage at the top. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing more tracks in the coming weeks.

[Watch] Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - "Everybody's On The Run" x "Don't Look Back In Anger" (NME Awards 2012)

At this year's NME Awards, Noel Gallagher was awarded with the Godlike Genius award from his peers and in turn he took to the stage to show us, and those who'd given him the award why he'd won. Whilst on stage he performed "Everybody's On The Run" which features on the self-titled debut, and then the crowd goes a little crazy as they re-kindle your love for an old Oasis favourite, "Don't Look Back In Anger". That's up for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Oasis might not be getting back anytime soon but it's great to see at least one of the Gallagher brothers doing more than just bad mouth the other.
