found a free show at Koko, one of London's historic venues. Headliner bands playing for a taped segment on the NME Show. So its like a regular free gig except they have long setup times, and have to retake the hostess' announcements of the bands. all american...rejects white lies ...couldnt stay long enough to catch The Wombats.
Explored the area where I used to live (Tower Hamlets, further East in London) and a huge pile of trash down an alleyway caught my eye. Loving junk, adventure, and deviance, I half-hoped to find something (like maybe an office chair...which i would have to strap to my back and ride home with for about 4 miles).
thats the name of the band not sure what the drummer has in the pic here, but it looks like a bunch of beads or stones on a net of string...he was obsessed with using it on the cymbals and high hat, but i dont know what type of sound effect was really noticable...
