Same deal as last time, gentlemen: you find me in the heaving crowd, I’ll do you up an Octobee, on the house. (clue: my hair is mintyblonde, and I will be dressed as a biplane-hijacking escapee from Mad Max’s personal bellydancing troupe)

This is Bong-Ra’s first US tour, and he’s augmented by a lineup of excellence including Pneumatic Detach, and Enduser, craftsman of one of my and Qais’ all-time favorite albums, Bollywood Breaks.

Ectofriend DJ Intoner, who put the show together, will be spinning between sets.

In case you, my treasured readership, are not yet familiar with Bong-Ra, allow me to advance the notion that he is fucking insane:

As for the rest of the cast, just click your dainty pointers below to be bathed in the relevant phat beats.

Sorry! Our template was corrupted through no one’s fault but my own. The site should still be usable, but it’s going to look like crap until we fix it.

The plan: tomorrow morning, I shall do my best to bring it back up to shape. And better news: Eliza’s working on a major graphic overhaul anyway. Hopefully this little crisis will spur her to artistic genius, and we can leave the current template in the dust forever.

Too annoyed to be clever, so sorry, everyone!
