Melt Yourself Down – 27 Feb 2013 at The Shacklewell Arms

A fabulous beast composed of various members of , & and Transglobal Underground in Dalston, where else? Should be great or a spectacular mess.

Melt Yourself Down describes itself as “the sound of ’57, Cologne ’72, ’78, 2013. A riot of colour and noise, they rip the heart from the remains of Acoustic Ladyland and deliver it to the party, still beating. Reanimated with intense, sweaty , uplifting horns and blistering Nubian drums, this tightly drilled unit return for their second ever show after selling out the Queen of late 2012.”

Note: the show will now take place at The Shacklewell Arms, not the Sebright Arms as had been announced.
