Scottish synth pop band Futuristic Retro Champions are due to play as band member Harry Weeks describes it 'the biggest gig of our fledgling pop lives'. The FRC will be supporting 80s indie-pop icons, The Vaselines at the Kentish Town Forum.
The gig is on the 27th March and doors open at 7pm and they are hoping that there will be a tribe of people going down from Edinburgh and Glasgow to support them.
More details can be found at http://www.barflyclub.com/theforum/whatson/event/22075.aspx#The+Vaselines+%2b+Special+Guests
If you plan to go down to London and support the band let them know on their Myspace page and they will meet you on the train and you can all have a nice sing song on the way down.
