Arab Strap are something special live.
Hope they'll get in Paris again.

Yay, I'm there! In London! What's the Garage like? Because Birmingham Bar Academy's really really tiny, and it may be nice to see them there instead if the Garage is a lot bigger.

This is truly great news. Never have I experienced Aidan and Malcolm playing together before. I have a feeling it will be quite special.

huzzah! King Tuts. I've missed Arab Strap so many times for stupid reasons, will be a good 'un, if Malcolm's solo gigs are anything to go by..

The Garage is a moribund venue, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN A BAND & WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW IT WITHOUT SAYING SO. On the other hand, if you go there you'll find that it is one of the few remaining indie haunts in London with any real dirt charm. Following the snazzy refurbishments to the likes of the Palace in Camden etc. it will be an ideal spot to watch Arab Strap. What is the use for a venue where everything works?

ps. We apologise for some of the cod metal acts that frequent this ridiculous venue on an almost nightly basis.
