Went to see Magic Shoppe at the Lab in Northampton, they were great it just sucked that I had to leave the gig early to get the last train home which got cancelled π¬. Managed to catch a National Express coach back to Brum otherwise Iβd be a bit miffed - and damp as its pissing down π

Travelled up to Sheffield to see the New Candy's @ Sidney & Matilda earlier tonight. It was a super gig - I'm totally loving their track Regicide - well worth checking out if you're a fan of NIN. Hopefully they'll play Brum in the future π€
