Hi there, London friend... here are the details of our gig next week.

Hello London friend, We're playing this Friday 20th February at the Miller in London Bridge. We'll be onstage at 8:15 (quite early) and it'll cost £5 with a flyer - get one here.

Hi there, we're playing the "Hits Of The New Future" night at Catch in Shoreditch on Wednesday 17th December.
Cancel the nativity play, leave the office party early before you staple your bottom to a photocopier or something, and follow the star to East London. You know it makes sense.
