jamie king

last sat night ryan invited a few of us to an underground club in old street called hoxton lab. i've always wanted to get more involved in the underground music scene supporting unsigned bands (hobbo, dopey, and i spent nights dreaming of alternate clubs in camden), but for some reason i just never got around to it.

anyway so last sat we stumbled into this place not quite knowing what to expect. it was a small, dark place with excellent acoustics (errr... okay). we were there to see jamie king... but true to form we missed him. goddammit!!! but we caught the other two acts - one was a melancholic american lady, and the other was an english dude with black-and-white-stripey-shirt and an awesome sound. afterwards we jammed on the dancefloor to indie classics like blur and... errr... other indie bands.

so... anyway... although we missed him, jamie king, a dude from glenwood, durban, was apparently the bomb. he is unsigned at the mo but has a number of gigs lined up and with any luck, before long he'll have a line of groupies as long as peter crouch.

you can visit his website here.

you can listen to some of his music and read some of his history here.
