LEXINGTON OF LOVE

Well, well, well. Last week’s Lexington support with Art Brut has got to go down in the top ten-best-times-we’ve ever had (Art Brut, Top of the Pops!). Please don’t ask me to try and remember the rest of the list (Oh alright, Umeå 2006, Arm Wrestling for Artists II, Reading 1992 erm… some others).

AB were simply sensational - they’re putting on better shows and making better records than at any time in their career and, if there was any justice, ought to be headlining Glastonbury every year. We were alright as well (easily Saturday lunchtime in the new band tent awesome at least). Wednesday was Simon’s birthday and the lovely Lexington crowd sang ‘Happy Birthday’ and signed a card for the Young Master. Thank you very much to everyone who put us on, put us up and put up with us afterwards. You’re all amazing.

Also amazing is the very talented Gerald Preston who braved all of Art Brut week and took a load of fantastic photos. Click here to visit his flickr and see some pictures of us looking lovely.  

BRUT FORCE

We are beyond excited to announce that we’re going to be supporting the magnificent ART BRUT at the ever-lovely LEXINGTON (96-98 Pentonville Road) in London on Wednesday June the first.



ART BRUT will be playing in support of their AMAZING, Frank Black produced, fourth album, ‘Brilliant! Tragic!’ which is released on May 23rd (and might just be their best yet). Your WINTER OLYMPICS will be closing their eyes and trying to turn up the ‘brilliant’ and tone down the ‘tragic’ in their own unmissably messy office rock and roll show to open proceedings. You should totally come, it’s quite obviously going to be the gig of the century.

Doors open at 7.30pm, we’re on early, and the downstairs bar is open immediately post-office for warm-ups and stretching.

Advance tickets are on sale now for £11 (plus £CHEAP fees) from here orhere. Book now to avoid disappointment, Thursday and Friday nights have already sold out!
