Neither Sinbad, nor Ray Harryhausen (creator of awesome film monsters) himself could have pictured the monster line-up that is London Remixed Festival 2013. Gawsh!
It's huge. It's a proper monster. Look above, the human, strapped to a tree about to be snapped up, manages to avert his inevitable mauling by reasoning with the approaching fairly scary pretty massicve monster that there is a far greater, scarier, more badass monster just behind him. OMG.
That monster is London Remixed Festival 13. It's massive. It's bulk is difficult to focus on right now, it is the blue-grey background. It is like the sky, but massiver. It's going to deliver you, like the human in the pic, from all the banal pseudo-monsters moping around, giving half-hearted growls, that sound more like a cry for a help than our monster's mind-melting roar of total sound. You are the human strapped to the tree. It will save you. It is massive and badass and we can't wait.
We have been staring at this monster for sometime and we can describe it to you. For it is time.
But first. Look, listen. The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band, being privy to the finest, newest, time-telescopes, sang a song about London Remixed Festival 2013 in 1967. Hard to believe it, but we love it. Thanks Viv.

We are so excited to have Strongroom as a venue this year. I had a drink (nice beers) there the other day whilst discussing our monster (ed. enough) and it was great. It's down a little cobbled street, under an arch, and so different to everywhere else in Shoreditch.
So many artists. Where to start. In the next blog. Follow us on here and on twitter for info and tunes by all the artists playing. We've got lots happening in the run up to LRF 13 too, so check back here and on twitter for upcoming gigs by properly innovative but/and banging London artists.
