Pressure Point on Wednesday 7th Dec

So we're playing our final, pipe-clearing, chicken-strangling, face-down full-fat Cable-Club farm-boy-blowout LAST GIG'O'THE YEAR at the Pressure Point, on Wednesday 7th December. It's £4/£3 in.

The lineup makes me scratch with joy. First up is Assistant, an "odd, awkward pop group" who do a nice line in muso-politico-geekbloggery - no idea what the music is like, so why not turn up early enough to find out?

Then there's Boxer, who as The Mighty 590 supported Bloc Party and The Others, and got reviews like this from Drownedinsound:

Thank the lord then for THE MIGHTY 590, who aside from being the only band whose efforts roused any type of moshpit action, also looked like they were the only band on show that hadn’t studied what’s cool and what’s not, and instead concentrated on that one ingredient severely lacking from a lot of today’s overrated and overpaid wannabe heroes – entertainment.

In frontman Ross McDonough, they possess a five foot tall pocket dynamo whose onstage behaviour veers between that of rock star, stand-up comedian and Olympic gymnast. All at the same time.

And of course, they've got the tunes, of which there are plenty.

And then, well, there's us. We have some new songs, and some old songs, and we'll play them for you.
