If Easter weekend wasn't expressly designed for getting trashed in dark, dingy clubs until 7AM (that's SEVEN AM), then I'm the Pope. Thankfully, Greg tells us that those nice Soulwax boys (who also double up as the awesome 2ManyDjs) have got a stellar line up at their Radio Soulwax night on Saturday. Bloc Party, Babyshambles and The Rakes will all play DJ sets at Canvas in Kings Cross alongside Zoe Ball (?!) and the accurately titled People Are Germs. There's loads of tickets still available for credit card waxing so go here now children.
As if that's not enough, you can even go to the roller disco there on Friday night and spend your whole Easter wheeling around an old railway goods yard. Remember: we're here to make your life better.
That sounds pretty amazing, although what are the chances of the whole of babyshambles actually appearing...?!
I'm rocking it up in The Underworld in Camden on Sat night. They have live gigs from Robin Black (an awesome canadian 5 piece over-the-top glam rock band: http://robinblackrocks.com/index.php) and then after 11 it turns into it's legendary indie night, Silver. With great music and the almost compulsory sweaty dancefloor!
