It's October and already the first sting of Autumn is in the air.
The lingering energy of summer is still in our veins, though, and we're itching to get out there, and experience some live music.
From DJ sets to indoor festival, live shows and acoustic sets, this month's round up is one of the broadest we've ever published.
As ever, it's powered by our good friends at Skiddle – check 'em out for the latest ticket news, offers, and more.

Teleman – Concorde 2, Brighton – October 9th – TICKETS
Teleman's new album 'Family Of Aliens' is a dynamic return, one that explodes their psych-pop tendencies and adds electronic currents, acres of analogue synths, and fresh colour.
Live, the record truly comes into its own, with Teleman reinvigorating their own catalogue, in essence remixing themselves live onstage. Brighton is always a fine place to catch a show, so make your way to the south coast on October 7th to catch this highly under-rated group up front.

Amber Arcades – The Dome, London – October 10th – TICKETS
'European Heartbreak' but an American recording – Amber Arcades' new album is riddled with contradictions, but that goes a long way to explaining the aesthetic depth rumbling through her work. Dutch musician Annelotte De Graaf is blossoming into something special, her psych-pop seeds taking roots and growing into something imposing, and resolutely personal. This London show is a key point in her new tour, and the ideal place to catch Amber Arcades up front.
