I should definitely go to fewer gigs and discover fewer bands, said no one ever. And with this in mind, we heartily suggest heading over to Hackney on Friday and Saturday, parting with a mere £5, and getting in return a wristband that gets you into a whole load of live shows at the Shacklewell Arms, Moth Club, The Victoria, Birthdays, Paper Dress Vintage and London Fields Brewhouse. Each day each venue will be taken over by a super-cool indie label, who'll be showing off their super-cool indie acts. What's more, Django Django throw an album party to launch their new LP Marble Skies at Moth Club on Friday, with entry free when you register here. Because I should go to fewer uber-cool album launch parties, said no one ever…
26-27 Jan; from £5
