My third time seeing Maddie Ashman this year and the best. A three act set list opening with the noisy tunes, heading into the quieter microtonal corner then ending with more song based compositions. Each phase was a delight.
Support from Imogen & The Knife.

I was super excited to see LCD Soundsystem tonight at Brixton. My expectations were ridiculously high yet they still exceeded them. Sweltering hot but a set that was over two hours and still left me wanting more #chopsgigs #lcdsoundsystem
