IKTOMS is an acronym. It stands for a few things, but most of all it stands for Good Live Music.
IKTOMS runs two types of nights: IKTOMS WIRED, and IKTOMS UNPLUGGED. You can read a bit more about them below. We also run a yearly WIRED FESTIVAL , and occasional extra events, like the recent IKTOMS UK TOUR, which hit York, Manchester, Worcester and a three night residency at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
IKTOMS WIRED launched on September 29th with the hugely successful Wired Fest , and is a monthly band night held at The Cross Kings, Kings Cross, showcasing original music in a highly original venue. The night takes place across two stages, with about fifteen bands every night... we like to pack it all in!
IKTOMS UNPLUGGED is a weekly evening of *completely* unplugged and acoustic music, held upstairs at The Liberties Bar, 100 Camden High Street, Camden. We want you to see the acts as you won't and simply can't anywhere else... Entry is £4, which is normally a pound per act, or even less. If you come along you'll know what a deal that is.
Now, we do understand the attractions of myspace, and so we keep up to date on here, and meet all sorts of interesting people. It's great for hearing new music too. But come get to know us yourself, let's not depend on this thing...
If you're an artist who would like to play, simply sign up to our blog and send us a message over myspace, we listen to them all.
So, see you soon, then?
Also, we've got a rather lovely compilation of some of our favourite acts. We released it on the IKTOMS 2008 Tour, but we have some copies left, so we're selling them at £4 each. There are 18 tracks, all of them superb, which works out at roughly 22p per track. That's WAY better than itunes, and you get the CD, which isn't bad looking itself. You can get them by messaging us, or by popping down to a gig. Check it out:
