Reviews
Itch, One Toy Soldier, Caterpillar Ghost at London The Betsey Trotwood, Thu 03 Nov
Time is running out and there’s a mighty problem brewing: the majority of tonight’s crowd is loitering about the venue’s cramped but comfortable bar, yet the bands – fifty per cent of Swedish headliners Caterpillar Ghost aside – are conspicuous by their alarming absence...»
About the venue
The Betsey Trotwood
Train: Kings Cross (18 mins)
Tube: Farringdon (5 mins)
The Betsey is a small venue in Farringdon, a lot like someone's living room. The capacity is a mere 60 people.
»About the artists
One Toy Soldier
One Toy Soldier are Nik (bass/vocals), Rik (guitar/vocals), Rosie (guitar/vocals) and Tom (drums/vocals) and hail from Northampton. They are influenced by, variously, At The Drive In, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins among others.
Since their inception in September 2002, One Toy Soldier have gigged around their home town and also at Nottingham's Rock City.
They have already had Big Cheese frothing on about how 'OTS play an eclectic style of angular, charged indie that makes you sit up and listen.' Expect much Idlewidlesque fun and some big tunes from current album, the cannily titled 'Concrete Smiles At The Midnight Hospital Diner' (Bravestar Records).
