There is a good crowd down for them and it is so good to see them in a venue with such good sound after the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes show the other week.

I run across to the ICA where Good Books are playing as part of their tour to promote their forthcoming single "The Illness". Run into Anna their manager who is nursing a broken wrist in a sling.
