Well I did say get there early to avoid disappointment, but didn't take my own advice. I also didn't realise how small Cherry Jam is, so when we walked past just after 7pm and the rope was across we just assumed it wasn't open yet. Actually that meant that it was full, and although we queued until 8.15pm we were told there was little chance of getting in unless a lot of people left. So no Clientele gig for us then, and we ended up in the Coach and Horses in Soho instead!

Short notice (!) but the Clientele are playing in a few hours at the Rough Trade night at Cherry Jam, 58 Porchester Road London W2
Line up is....The Clientele + VV Hotel, DJ  11 till 2  Erol Trash £5 or free 'til 8pm, £7 after 11pm
Get there early to avoid dissappointment, nearest tubes Royal Oak, Bayswater or Paddington.

That Kidd Dynamo review is online at last - I've even given them their own page this time!

Nearly two weeks since I posted here - I've no excuses really, just laziness.
Over the last few days I have been very active though. I've been out a lot, went record shopping in Soho (which mean there'll be some reviews on here too!), and finished recording a radio drama. Which was nice.
I also installed a sitemeter on here, so I can see where you're all coming from.
Oh yeah, and I made an appointment with the dentist I met at the Kidd Dynamo show. Isn't it fantastic when a plan comes together.

Some gigs coming up in London...
Saturday 2 March - the Church of Simian - special event at Mass in Brixton featuring Simian, Minotaur Shock, Appliance, Capitol K and Dj sets from Simian, David Holmes and Alison Goldfrapp. Only £7 (shurely shome mishtake???) and open from 10pm til 3am.
Sunday 3 The Notwist 93 Feet East - £8, 7.30pm
Tuesday 5 The Walkmen Barfly at the Monarch - £5, 8.30pm
Wednesday 6 Fridge Scala - £8.50, 7.30pm

I was mildly miffed that I missed the White Stripes 'secret' show in 93 Feet East on Saturday, especially as I got an email telling me about it. Despite the fact that I was in work about 5 minutes away from the Rough Trade Shop I didn't have enough free time to get out and get a ticket (priced at the princely sum of £5 !!), and no-one else was around to get them. Oh well.
