BigSexyLand #2:
16th September 2005 - The Strongroom, London:

"I recommend we come up with some sort of solid front to explain this debacle to the Imperious Leader..."

The night on which BSL achieved escape velocity.

Twice as busy as the first night, with the dancefloor starting to get busy - in both senses - before the house lights were even turned down. CD decks skipped, video projectors refused to work, and none of it mattered as the soul sonic force took control.

A less complicated arrangement than the opening night, with two hours of Jim Dyson's eccentric collection of post punk seven inches, followed by four hours of the two Johns alternating before joining forces for the final triumphant hour.
