D - F r a g # 22 : London Gig Previews
...by Sean www.drownedinsound.com Another week, another attempt to Defragment the London music scene. And as of this week, raz@drownedinsound.com will be starting a manchester edition, beginning with a full In the City preview. Drop him a mail if you'd like a copy. I don't have a rant in me this week, too busy sorting out our Drowned in The City show on Sunday @ Big Hands. Plug. Hint. Plug. Plug. I'm also on two crazy panels at the music biz event, one with Dominic Hohan from the Sun and another one with the fella from 679 and the MD of Mushroom. Barmy. Crazy. Rant. Rant. Rant.

*gig of the week* @ Club Fandango, Dublin Castle i OWN KiNGS.....what can i say? One of my favourite unsigned bands at the moment playing their 9th gig as a headline show, having already supported their mates Seafood and played a dis show with Jetplane Landing. Sounding like a shot of sunshine blasting through my head, shooting out through my dancing to Bohemian Rapsody hips and transfixing my eyes on the singer who looks like he's consumed 5 rockstars and they're kicking their way out of his wee torso to get out
