Gig promoters - what websites/publications are good places to get your (London) gigs listed?
I'm putting on a gig. It's been a few years since I last did it, and in that time a number of publications I used to get listed in have gone for good, and endless new websites/blogs have popped up.
The gig itself is of the more noise/power electronics variety, but i'm happy to have listed in as many places as possible.
Where would you recommend? Wire, Time Out, NME, DiS (?!)... There must be loads I haven't thought of.
Thanks!

Do my work for me, ya bastards!
Have you tried this one:
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' @
The big one is to send it to the Press Association,
as they handle the listings for loads of online and paper magazines including things like the Guardian Guide. Do this as soon as possible, but at least three weeks before the show.
Send it to Timeout too. They don't do print listings any more but it's still on their website.
Create a Facebook event, a Songkick event and a LastFM event, which includes all the info plus a wegottickets link. Send the artists/management/venue links to all of these. Tweet @ the artists and venue with the wegottickets link. Make sure your account is re-tweetable (i.e. not locked).
