Fuck I don't live near any of those.

Anyone wanna let a 15 year old sleep on the sofa near the 02? Or make him play Latitude?

I might be wrong, but...

isn't New Century House the Co-Op Bank office block? Very strange place to be holding a gig.

twee_loser | 28 Apr '08, 18:25 | X | Reply

it surely is

but its a good place... animal collective played there last year... was a bit empty but its a good venue.... four tet, los campesinos, adem, nina nastasia jeff lewis and more playing there at A Day At The Races in August also
