London band TEETH take to the stage at approx. 12.20am in Dalston. Power Lunches is a small cafe/bar with a basement. Despite how dark and small this venue is, many people are packed in tonight and waiting patiently to see the band, who, from the buzz I have heard, promise to be fantastic live.

SHEEN go south of the river for occasional love
With six members, SHEEN are usually squashed onto a stage, but here is a stage at the Amersham Arms in New Cross London not only big enough to fit them, but big enough for them to throw themselves (and their instruments) around.

A group formed from several members of other groups, as just about everything you read about them will tell you (go on, google it!), BAD FOR LAZARUS headlined London’s Camden Barfly this past Monday 3 December, and played a ‘secret’ gig the next day at 93 Feet East.
