04 May 2005 - New Gigs THIS WEEKEND!!!!
This weekend Dead Monroe are playing not one but two gigs!

After months of lethergy Dead Monroe (formerly the Bookoo Movement for all
you traditionalists) finally got off their arses and played on bank holiday
Monday. And from that stella performance (in both the cosmic and the liquid
senses) they were 'spotted' and offered two more cracking shows. Yes, gigs
are like busses - smelly and dingey. But you get a good view.

We are giving out FREE CDs at these gigs, so come along and get a demo. And
hear our live-only cover of T-Rex's 'Children of the Revolution' too.

Notice is short, and that's just tough.

FRIDAY 6 MAY
The Marquee Club, Leicester Square (a swankey venue)
1 Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7NA
On stage at 9pm
If you are coming to this show email your name and we'll put you on a £3
admission list (half price)

SATURDAY 7 MAY
The Horn, Victoria St, St. Albans, Herts. 01727 844627
Next to St. Albans Station - 18 mins from St. Pancras
On stage midnight
WE'RE HEADLINING THIS SHOW, so we've got to find 45mins of material.
£6, but £5 if we can import this weird list system from the Marquee, so
email if you wanna come.

Plenty of new pics to be on the website very soon. There's a free MP3 of
Plastic England on there for you to download. Listen to it and leave a
message on the guestbook!
