Friday 4th. EP launch The Fuegos plus support. Having seen this new London bassed indie-electro-pop rock band on many occasions, I can not recommend them more highly. Superb energy, great fun, dance rock anthems. And they are putting this EP launch party on for FREE. Must be on guest list; visit The Fuegos website.
Thanks I was taking my son to ripleys in the evening and was looking for something else to do before hand. So will now be going to the vienna wall. Cheers!

These are good - but there's an exhibit in an old hospital about to be demolished that is ace. Check it out: www.stphilips.tumblr.com
Good stuff. My city, Rio, would benefit from such a wonderful site designed especially for it, as Time Out New York and London. Since Rio will be the next home for the Olympics, it would be fair enough to have a time out here.
I will be in the City of London in june and such a hot list will be very helpfull, especially for a newcomer like me.
I can safely say without fear of hyperbole that the Time Out London Hotlist is the greatest thing of any kind ever.
