This one’s literally just around the corner. As in next Thursday and Friday. As in we’re based in Shoreditch and so is Concrete and Glass. So, yep, it’s literally just around the corner.
Anyway, it’s called Concrete and Glass and it’s set to be bloody massive! So massive that we’re going to keep this very short and very sweet and let the line-up do the talking.
Which is totally unprecedented.
But, as a one man team, Planet Notion has a shed load of crap to get through today, especially if I’m going to get my long overdue break at the end of the week.
Anyway, I'll tickle your taste-buds with a few additions to Concrete and Glass, including the sexiest Swede since Sven-Goran Eriksson burst onto the radar, Lykke Li. Her electro-tinged, sweet-dripping pop is equally delicious. YUM!
If David Bowie was American or something, he’d probably be the figure-head of Secret Machines. But he isn’t American and he isn’t their figure-head and they’re still great and much heavier and stuff, so happy days!
Brighton’s finest, Fujiya and Miyagi, Dublin’s sublimest (sic), Fight Like Apes, and London's excellentist (double sic), Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, will also be on hand to deliver their own bite of brilliance.
Concrete and Glass will take place across 18 venues around Shoreditch, including 93 Feet East, Cargo, Catch, Hoxton Bar and Grill, Electricity Showrooms and Rough Trade East. Tickets are available at £22.50 or £35 from seetickets.com.
