Two of the bands on our label played supreme London gigs last week to support recent releases. First, CHILDCARE headlined The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington, performing a set that included new single ‘Film Club’ to a sweaty full house. The band were ably supported by Bokito and Sad Palace.
The following Saturday was Cocoa Futures’ turn to roll out EP ‘Blue’ with a rammed show at The Sebright Arms in Hackney, going down a storm with a performance sprinkled with the four tracks from the release. Coby Sey and KYLYPSO had ignited the party vibes before them.
