1234shoreditch

Is back, with The Rakes and Patrick Wolf (two of my favourite artists of recent times) headlining this year alongside Chrome Hoof (who can be found on Last.fm under the tags of ‘astro rock, doom disco, fairytale rock and sex music’) and Crazy Baldhead of the Ed Banger Records stable. All I can say about Chrome Hoof is watch the video below and enjoy, it’s like a Flash Gordon-inspired acid party. The merits of the French funk pushers at Ed Banger have adorned these meagre pages enough times already.

The event is held in Shoreditch Park (head North from Old Street towards Essex Road junction with New North Road and you’ll see it on the right hand side before Gainsborough Studios/Gainsborough wanky flats).

Thanks to 1234shoreditch.com for the photo of their scenester-fest of 2007.

25th July is the date and with early bird tickets still worth a peck at £15 (including entry to 10 afterparties – obviously all running concurrently so not as ideal as it sounds) – so what you waiting for?

With the Horrors and Final Fantasy both at Field Day this year, I might be going for the East London high-jinx hattrick of Lovebox, Field Day and 1234.
