At this special time of year, the excitement that guided missiles can bring is a seasonal treat we can all look forward to.

Whether it’s snowballs, party-poppers or even an occasional champagne cork, there’s nothing more thrilling than the spectacle of objects defying gravity, even if it’s only for a brief - yet magical - moment.

Since the glorious day itself is descending rapidly, FoTB will be indulging in some festive shape-throwing at The Buffalo Bar (next to Highbury & Islington Tube) this very Saturday. It’s Guided Missile’s Gala Christmas Party - a holiday celebration as joyful to the ear as it is to the spirit.

High-flyer Spinmaster Plantpot will be observing the reverent, reflective spirit of yuletide as compere and from 8pm; FoTB, The Moths, Baby Gravy, Subliminal Girls and Honeytrap will set the night aglow with their smooth, contemporary rhythms. There’ll be Djs right up until 4am, the return of the honest and joyous Eddie Argos Tombola Stall as well as free sherry to help you celebrate in festive fashion!

The lustrous affair looks set to be as full of surprises as a traditional Christmas pudding and as chock-full of all-night pleasure as a chunky advent calendar. So set coordinates and guide those ground-grippers to the Buffalo Bar. And remember - when it comes to missiles, there’s nothing more caustic than a crumbling christingle.
