Black Gardenia R.I.P.

Farewell to the Black Gardenia who will hopefully find a new venue for their brand of retro sleaze, evidenced by these photos I got off their myspace. Paloma Faith supported by Mika Doo played them out. Well done Zimon and Jake and co for creating a true underground hovel and conjuring up the old school spirit of Soho.

Recommended Mix

Must mention this fine mix which has been standing out for me over the last few weeks on the commute. I found it on Infinite State Machine and it's by Toby Frith, who's part of (or possibly the main man at) Bleep43, a site I will now one day check out. It's a retro-fresh Italo-y treat though I found it a bit slow to start though so I suggest getting in at 15 minutes or so. Here mix. Um enjoy um.
