Goldfrapp, Hot Chip at London Brixton Academy, Thu 09 Feb

Review by John Brainlove

About the venue

Brixton Academy

Capacity: 4,272, to be precise

Nearest tube: Brixton

It is rather large and has a nice sloping floor, making it easier for the vertically-challenged gig-goers to see the bands. There is a seating area too. Decent sound. One of the best big venues in the UK.

Pre-gig entertainment can be found in the form of the crap, young skateboarders in the skateboard/BMX park round the back of the venue.

Post-gig entertainment can be found watching the Hell's Angels chase away the t-shirt bootleggers.
