About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox ! We are a small venue in the backstreets of Brixton, south London.
We love music.
We don't sell Carling.
Enjoy.
BANDS - PLEASE READ
Our MySpace inbox is rammed and because of our time:staff ratio it's just a waste of time writing to us via myspace or doing that friend thing hoping we'll have time to listen anymore because within a day your message will be down to page four or something and we'll never see it again. We can however listen to stuff on myspace but FIRST you should email us at WINDMILLBRIXTON (at) YAHOO (dot) Co (dot) UK with a link to your page. Also, please put your band name in the subject line so we can sort it, none of this dumb shit like "give us a gig". If you're interested in playing the 'mill (and we hope you are) then there's more info at our website where there's stuff about booking policy or you could be totally old school and send a demo to: "Band Bookings", Windmill Brixton, 22 Blenheim Gardens, London SW2 5BZ, as we listen to them all. THANKS!
THE FRIENDS THING Anybody can be a friend here except for business that we have no connection with (we've got our own badge supplier, thanks). Oh, and bands...if we don't know you we won't press "accept".

My Interests
