Popular Portland trio The Gossip are to perform for free in London on March 5.

The band - fronted by Beth Ditto, a favourite of DiS's own Kev Kharas - will play at the capital's Oxford Street HMV at 6pm. Why? 'Standing In The Way Of Control' needs a little extra milking. Pity the poor cow that's raised it: she must be dry as a bone by now.

The re-re-release of said single, currently doing the E4 rounds on trailers for not-bad-actually teen drama Skins, can be yours from Monday. If you don't already have it. A million times.
