Prog out in Old Street! 29th August 2008

London's finest (possibly only) prog rock extravaganza, Night of the Longswords, happens once a month in the dark basement of El Paso's Restaurant Bar in Old Street. Expect to freak out on the dance floor till 3am to all manner of obscure and wonderful 60's and 70's prog, psychedelia, kraut-rock, and general weirdness. There are usually two or three live acts along the same theme and you'll find a gathering of freaks and groovers suitably attired in flares, glitter and long hair. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped out of the Tardis onto the set of Music Laden 1971 and you never know, that could very well be Damo Suzuki from Can bouncing up and down at the front of the stage. A genuine treasure for lovers of the more obscure aural delicacies and retro vibes. Oh and did I mention it's free?
