Willing and Gable

For a spot of post-work free Friday fun tonight (June 20th), head on down to the brand new Puregroove record shop that has just opened in Farringdon (6-7 West Smithfield) from 6pm to catch a pair of free shows from Lo-offshoot LOAF‘s great white hopes Gable and The Chap.

Oddball Frenchies Gable come highly recommended by LOAF’s own (and once-a-week BC rent boy) Vincent Oliver, and the favour is returned with a quick namecheck for Vince on album track ‘Drunk Fox In London’ (streamable here along with the rest of the 7 Guitars with a Cloud Of Milk album). On Wednesday night Gable played another special freebie hoover-recorder-guitar mash-up set at Lo’s own offices, and ideally we would have been there ourselves to report back, only post-Japan jetlag has had us yearning for our bed at around 9pm every night this week. So you will have to take Vincent’s word for it instead: “It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Everyone went nuts!”.

If you can’t make it to Puregroove, then you can also catch Gable later on tonight at Lark In The Park in Islington, or tomorrow night (June 21st) at The Grosvenor in Stockwell. Although I do hope that you have already assigned that particular slot in your diary to BC new boy Luke Abbott, who will be guesting at Ginglik in Shepherds Bush the same night…
