Other notable announcements and developments today…

• William Hill has suspended bets on who will perform the new James Bond film for upcoming film ‘Spectre’ after someone placed £15,000 on Radiohead yesterday. This puts the band ahead of Ellie Goulding, who yesterday posted a picture of herself leaving Abbey Road Studios to Instagram with the caption, “that’s a wrap”, which many are taking to mean the song is hers.

• This year’s Game Music Connect conference will feature a keynote speech from Director Of Music for Sony Computer Entertainment America Worldwide Studios, Chuck Doud. The event takes place at the Southbank Centre in London on 15 Sep. Details here.

• Kate Boy have posted a new track, ‘Midnight Sun’.

• Following the recent release of his new album ‘I Aubade’, Elvis Perkins will head out on a short tour of the UK in November, finishing up at the Victoria in Dalston on 24 Nov. Info here.

• Grass House have announced a three week residency at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington. They will play shows on 11, 19 and 28 Aug, the last coinciding with the release of new single, ‘Unknown In The Scene’. Listen to that here.

• Iggy Azalea has been bitten by a cat. This raises a surprising number of questions.
