A Week in Drowned in Sound: 18/01/08

The week was, of course, dominated by Radiohead’s headline-grabbing performance in east London; though there was plenty else going on outside of sticky Brick Lane clubs. Why, for example, was our stellar week of Drownloads not picked up on by the international media? Anticipation for our Winter Warmer shows, taking place next week at Bardens Boudoir just a mile or so up the road from 93 Feet East, was also inexplicably missing from the pages of the Broadsheets and of BBC.co.uk, Reuters.com, et al.

Still – win tickets here for the Bardens shows, our Drownloads are listed below, but you can queue-jump here.
