PIN ME DOWN ATTACKS LONDON NEXT WEEK

Word has it that PIN ME DOWN played their first "secret" show ever last night in Brooklyn to get ready for shows in London next week. Russell is stepping out for a moment from recording the new BLOC PARTY record to play with his mates, fronted by rock goddess-in-the-making Milena Mepris.

* I'll be flying over with PMD, so expect some light blogging from London.

TONIGHT IN LA: MASQUERADE BALL AT THE ROOSEVELT

My boy Russell Lissack of BLOC PARTY is spinning records tonight at the Roosevelt Hotel along with the guys from THE RAPTURE and TALIB KWELI. Russell is gearing up for big things in 2008 with his side project, PIN ME DOWN. Masquerade ball, so throw a mask on and come down.
