Extended xmas break officially over!
Time to dust off those bookshelves and get ready to dance! Us librarians were so, so happy-exhausted after a year of 13 LWs and a birthday party that totally rocked our socks (and not to mention party hats) off. More about that and the last six months soon (it's been so much fun, and so hectic we haven't had time to sit down and blog about it). But we just wanted to share some great events that we've been invited to take part in, as they are coming up very soon! Evans the Death rocked our 1st birthday. First of all, it's An Evening With A Little Orchestra, courtesy of How Does It Feel to be Loved. That's on Thursday 26th of January at the Buffalo Bar which is right next to Highbury and Islington Station, which again is on the super fast(?!) Victoria Line. So we want no excuses like it being a school night or it being too far out! A Little Orchestra's performance was one of our Indietracks favourites in 2011, and we hope to host them at some point this year too. On Thursday's, the wonderful Haiku Salut (who we have partied with at Indietracks and swam with in lakes in Sweden, and who have also, and very beautifully so, played our night) will be joining them, as will our friends Matt and Sharon from the excellent A Fine Day For Sailing. The Madrigals who have also played LW and are just fantastic will also be playing, as will Shirley Lee, who we haven't heard live but we think will be great. So do come along! Doors open at 8pm and we'll be playing tunes from then. Haiku Salut played LW in May 2011, stunning, like a soundtrack to Amelie II. The Madrigals' beautiful melodies at the Dogstar.

Then the evening after, Friday 27th of Jan, (after lots of coffees in the daytime) we'll be DJing at Big Pink Cake and Spiral Scratch's The Sunny Street album launch party.

This time we'll be at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon and after the bands the DJ sets will go on until 1am. As this is not a school night you definitely don't have that excuse to not come out in case you DID use it on Thursday. We'll be going straight from there to So Tough! So Cute! at the Drop in Stoke Newington to do some more dancing, hopefully to a bit of Broder Daniel. The Fireworks with their heartshaped guitar played our birthday too. Finally, we've been invited by the awesome Playhouse girls Natalie and Lauren to join them on the decks Saturday 11 Feb. Their nights are always complete pop (and rap and Rihanna and you name it) mayhem, pure fun and no-one taking themselves too seriously; never seen such cool dance moves. We're excited about both guest DJing and dancing when Nat and Lauren are playing their tunes, so we really hope you'll be on the dancefloor that night. Again, at the Drop in Stoke Newington, which has the best vibe about it and those dangerous Jaegers. Ready to rock the party at the Drop.

Should any bands be interested in playing we're planning line-ups now, so feel free to email us on [email protected] or visit our Facebook page.
