they won the LOLarious award for the evening by managing to ape just about every indie 'style' going at the same time - bassist in a suave suit and the drummer and frontman dressed in 'classic' army gear.
music weren't much better, either.
anyway, i was thinking about it but tonight is orange wednesdays so if i'm going to see A Scanner Darkly, it'll be tonight.
£4, or £3 with flyer/NUS
Doors 8pm.
18 Kentish Town Road, Camden, NW1 9NX.
London-based four piece GREAT BEAR have steadily built up a reputation for their energetic live shows. They inhabit a place "where Blur drop all the art-school bollocks and Supergrass have a shave and learn to dress with a bit of class." (Drowned In Sound)
POPULAR WORKSHOP formed in January 2005 through its creators' ideas, dreams and frustrations as well as an ad on Drowned In Sound - they make propulsive, unhinged, beautiful pop music. Named after Atelier Populaire - be realistic, demand the impossible. Guitars flew, drums collapsed... and they still do.
MARY LUXEMBOURG & THE BLACK BATS formed from the ashes of promising Riot Grrrl trio Run Wolves Run. Fronted by the acerbic-tongued Laura-May, the band make ferocious pop all their own.

You text Orange, they give you a free movie ticket. Or something.
I'm on Orange, so theoretically I could take advantage of this. I just don't.
if you're on orange
you can get 2-for-1 cinema tickets on wednesday.
2 for 1 at the cinema
if your phone contract is with Orange.
you go away.

works if
you're pay as you go as well.
I don't get it.
