They are great parties, been going since Mancuso was playing way back at the old Light Bar in Shoreditch, the Rose Lipman building gets pretty hot in the summer sessions. It also used to be on a Sunday which was always a challenge with work the next day. Great you made it for the whole thing, I’ve only ever managed that once.
Never knew that and just seen the album was released June 24,. Feels like it’s around for years…lol Charlie must pinch herself every morning after years of being on the sidelines…

Bit of coup on this, full production plan all done. We are collective of young artists hooked on the great things from the scene up to older New York Loft afficionados from 1993. Full high end sonics, lighting and artwork in a fantastic wooden dancefloor venue.
TP meet material, plenty coming from London, next to train station and we will look after you all x
Zaf is down for a four hour set and it’s going to go off.

Those shoes look like they were danced in last night - strong work!
I went last Thursday and it was insanely hot. Definitely detracted from the enjoyment. I’ve never really been a fan of LCD but caught the end of them at Glastonbury a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. A mate was keen to go so I was happy to go along. It was partly the heat and the muddy sound at the Academy (it seemed to sound best at the bar behind the mixing desk which was lucky as it was a few degrees cooler there!) but I didn’t really get into it to be honest. Too many similar sounding tracks and not enough groove.
Saturday was beyond hot, but I was forewarned and managed to roll with it and have some fun. Second time I’ve seen them, my partner is a big fan (although unfortunately wasn’t carrying one!). I’m just a casual but do rate them as a live act.
Always good to see a band with actual sound on stage too (i.e. not in-ears/silent stage), it’s becoming a rarity these days, and much better vibe IMO.
Crowd was good too. Minimal phones out. Do agree the sound in the venue could have been better though. And the heat was indeed insane, must have been affecting the band too.
Randomly stumbled across a gig in an old petrol station last night, ten minutes walk from where we’re staying. Couple of bands from the US, the headliners Sacri Monti from San Diego were excellent, stoner rock with early Floyd vibes.
I went on Saturday. Was hot but for a band that play live it’s pretty fucking great. Even knowing how you do that stuff I don’t understand how they do half of the stuff. Good sound though…

Cheers Craig. You can’t beat a trusty pair of dancing shoes.
Did you (or anyone else on here)go to this?
That black with gum is my new purchase…
Off to see Stereophonic at the theatre. I’ve heard good things…
I don’t think my mate bothered when he realised it was a tribute band…
