One of the more gentlemanly ways of approaching Camden Town is to climb aboard a hand-made racing bicycle and travel along the Regents Canal into Camden Lock. If you were to do this on a regular basis from West London you may spot a man who basically lives under a bridge not far from where the canal travels through the Zoo. Having whizzed past on said bicycle and seen this fella every morning usually doing a series of exercises and stretches before loading an old pram with everything he owns for the long walk into to the Lock, I started to wonder how he ended up under the bridge? and whether or not he might like a new pair of shoes? He seems to wear two odd sandals most of the time, so the last time I had a clear out, I stuffed a pair of almost new leather shoes into my back pack ready to offer to bridge man. The next morning I came to a stop under the bridge and asked him if by any chance he was a size 11? "No mate, size 7". "Ah" I said, feeling slightly foolish, "no worries" and cycled on.

NME RADAR TOUR

La Roux, Heartbreak, Magistrates, The Chapman Family (more info on them later), what a line up, what a bargain, what a great night out.


For more details go here.


CAGE THE ELEPHANT

Cage The Elephant are the sort of band that Friday nights were invented for. A real rush of blood that makes you forget about the rest of the week and puts you in the moment. Luckily for us they will be providing just this kind of service when they no doubt crawl all over the place on Friday 22nd May.

For more details go here.




JULIETTE LEWIS

Should actors make music? perhaps only if their name is Julliet Lewis? Come and see what some people folk have described as the female Iggy Pop, ( just hope she doesn't feel the need to make an car insurance advert anytime soon)

Soundcrash continued their series of top notch night's out with The Dub Pistols who were joined by The Herbaliser, Trojan Sound System and Gentlemen's Dub Club. Their line ups just get better and the next two in June and July could be the best yet, do not miss out.
