This weekend we move to our new Leeds Home: Nation Of Shopkeepers. Tonight we are djing at the launch party in along with Lovefoxx (CSS dj set), Dinosaur Pile Up and Old Romantic Killer Band. We had a preview of the venue the other night and it looks like a cool joint. Loads of Good artwork and in general it is a lovely space.
