Out of Highbury and Islington station, turn right, that's the Famous Cock. Follow it round and you'll see the Wetherspoons (the cheaper alternative).

Heads up to everyone - the Victoria line's completely closed on Saturday. Holloway Road station on the Piccadilly line is a ten minute walk from the venue.

Bollocks, forgot about the perennial weekend victoria line closures. If you're really lazy, you can jump on the 43, 271, 393 buses down Holloway Road.

This gig is quite possibly going to be awesome... :D

New album just sounds like more of the same on the first listen, but I grew to love the first album for a reason so I'm sure I'll grow to like this one for the same reason.
So make of this what you will, so many little shots in the dark, the same records, the same shoes and a smile that almost broke your heart. Yeah, I'm all for local history. Three things I'll remember: her pasta was shit, she left with a CD still playing, and you, you always threw your arms around me in your sleep.

i've no idea why the hell this seems to be the general view everywhere about this album leaking, other bands are just as poor / whatever as jofo are. don't get why people are getting defensive other them (just go look at DJ thread on it )

JoFo seem to make mention of it more often though. I'm waiting until a week Monday to hear it *smug self righteousness*

That would've been amazing, but sadly no. I'm stuck in my central Europe area.

New album is ggggrrrrowing on me just like I thought it would.

Few more listens and I think it may be one of my favourites of the year.
