Petting Party

Last Saturday I had the distinct pleasure of finding myself at the launch of Spacebox, a night run by Luca C and Damon Martin of Disco Bloodbath. It was in Stoke Newington (my old stomping ground) in this lovely little basement club underneath The Three Crowns. You don’t really expect to have good nightclubs in Stoke Newington so this venue is a real gem.

Whilst the music was exceptionally good, the real pleasure of the night lay in Ali Love’s live performance. Some of you may remember him from his hits a few years previous, ‘K-hole‘ and ‘Secret Sunday Lover‘ but this set was focused on his new material. It was quite simply great and I whole-heartedly recommend that you find an opportunity to see him live wherever and whenever you can.

You may recognise one of his new songs from having featured on a Skins advert on e4 recently (which you can see here). I’ve posted the full music video underneath for you to judge for yourself. I’d like to add that he was wearing the chainmail you can see in the video below and it does not take anything from how hot he is. He’s also a very nice and friendly gentleman actually, so it’s an all-round win basically. Afterwards, someone I know who had not come with us said “Ali Love played? Siiiiiiiick!” And that’s how you should feel too.
