By way of celebration, and to in no small way attract your attention to the fact that the duo have an album out this week (do check over the reviews section, won't you?), DiS has some nice tickets to give away.

Yup, we've A PAIR of tickets for the band's London show this Thursday, February 9th, at the Garage in Highbury. All you have to do to win is answer this question:

  • i saw

    idiot pilot last night in oxford, and although they were pretty good they behaved like proper cocks. berating their own sound tech, calling the audience 'wankers', slagging off the venue (the zodiac) and trying to destroy the stage made for quite embarrassing viewing. shame really, 'cos i quite like what i've heard of the album. not sure if i'll buy it now...

    • "I was born...

      a poor black child."

      Best opening line in the world...EVAH!

    • aha!

      they were being pricks to the sound guy last time they played (the zodiac).

      bastards.

    • yes

      and all because he was't allowed a boiling kettle on stage.

      i spoke to him afterwards, told him i wasn't impressed with his attitude. he told me to "grow up".

      fnar.

  • It's finally being released here?

    About bloody time, I bought it back in August I think. Going to see them on Friday, should be wicked. Gonna go and read the album review now, better be good!

  • Would enter but......
