SICK OF ELECTRO?

SICK OF ELECTRO? ENOUGH OF INDIE ROCK (aka RORY)?

About Me

Ok so we are not really sick of electro, and techno is a full time passion. What we are sick of is the lack of any alternative in our neighbourhood of Hoxton/Old Street/Shoreditch. So come check out some live music, and you'll begin to realise that 'Dance Music' can involve chords and riffs, not just bleeps and squeaks. Read on for more info. Rory ..A few precious moments with Elvis... you can expect to hear some of this at Jaguar Shoes on October 5.. width="425" height="350" .. GLL tearing it up... width="425" height="350" ..
