Over the years, the two bands have shared members, as well as an affinity for the bombastic riffage and camp touches of '70s psych-rock.

May is the month of live music, with visits from Crystal Castles, Mew, Nelly, Pitbull, Underworld and Yelle, plus the reopening of TCDC, a gallery-hopping night, a Chinatown jumble sale and more events to look forward to.
