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

Review by John Brainlove

Alison Goldfrapp strides out onto the glowing soft focus stage like a tightly wrapped pop present, super confident on glittering silver platforms and a black micro dress, under a cloud of curly blonde hair...»

About the venue

Staticmap?center=51

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.

Hot Chip

Hotly chipped London five piece band in thrall with Synths, Stevie Wonder, Prince and general mischief. Watch them line themselves up in a row...»
