Chromeo Gig & Afterparty

I went to see Chromeo live last night with my friend Julia and my buddy who owns Backyard Records, the label that put them out. They played a great set at the Kentish Town Forum, ending with my favorite track Night By Night. Afterwards we headed to the afterparty at Le Baron where the band hit the decks and DJ'd and gig sponsors Bushmills provided free whisky mixers and cocktails getting everybody suitably drunk for the occassion. Much fun was had. Check out some photos I took and listen to Canadian DJ U-Tern's remix of Night By Night below:

EMA and Zola Jesus at Le Baron London

I went to Le Baron on Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to find that EMA and Zola Jesus were both performing live. Browns were having an after party for a press event that they had hosted earlier that I was supposed to go to but unfortunately missed, but the live bands and free Absinthe cocktails more than made up for this and I had a great time. EMA played a particularly fun set, including a cover of Add It Up by Violent Femmes, one of my favorites! I spoke to EMA frontwoman Erika Anderson after they had finished and told her how much I loved Red State by her former band Gowns and she seemed intensely astounded that I had heard it and flattered by my comment, anyway, she was sweet and the whole night was fun so I give a big thumbs up to everyone involved! Thanks to ChiChi and the Le Baron team, we love you! Check out some photos I took, as well as a shot of me looking rather wasted watching EMA (oh dear) and listen to EMA & Gowns further below:

Le Baron London

One of Paris' hottest clubs, Le Baron, has just touched down in London and last night they threw a little party ahead of their official opening tonight. We certainly had fun. Having DJ'd for Le Baron already in Paris I knew this place would be great and it is. Tucked away on Old Burlington Street I have no doubt this will be a hot spot for those in the know.
