Lily Allen @ The Double Door

You know you've heard the buzz. Lily Allen has punched up the airwaves with a keen sense of sassiness laid over breakbeats and dance-hall, and now she's coming to a venue near you. She's not alone, it's going to be a Ronson filled evening, just remember in the UK grime is mixed with "gair-ajh".
Check out Transmission for details.
