DiS is Six: Gigs is here

DrownedinSound.com proudly presents our sixth birthday celebrations...

So, we're turning six this year; October to be precise. To celebrate, we're promoting, branding and putting our name to a number of events and shows. We'll cut straight to the chase - you should come to as many of these as you humanly can. They're going to be what the French would call 'really good, bruv'.

Did the Union Chapel reopen to gigs?

i always get them mixed up with fields. who did "you're so pretty"? i like them.

field music = not good
fields = good
i have no idea who did that song though.

...

that 'the awfully special guests' playing with Dartz, BRS, etc are THE KAISER CHIEFS.

I hope so, because they are fucking awful.
