One Night At Wanda's feat: PARIS MOTEL + SEAMING + ALEXANDERFESTIVALHALL Live at The Spitz, 109 COMMERCIAL ST. OLD SPITALFIELDS MARKET. LONDON. E1 6BG Wed 31st May 2006
An evening of dusty candelabra, creaking leather armchairs, intoxicating melodies carved from old violins and new words, laptop operettas and the sharpness of a finely crafted lyric blending seamlessly with the gentle voice of a distant French horn. Ethereal chamber pop from the Beautiful Paris Motel, a blend of skewed electronics and heart stopping arias from Seaming, and swinging glitch croon dandy Alexanderfestivalhall make up the bill.
£6 / £4 conc - Get your tickets soon before it sells out!!
