The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Road N1 9JB
This excellent night has run smoothly from being a new-gig-on-the-block to being one of the unmissable monthly nights on London’s gig calendar. Famous as much for a cosmopolitan crowd of scandophiles and industry insiders as the selection of up ‘n’ coming bands from the Nordic territories of Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Iceland, it celebrates it’s second birthday with a great lineup. From Finland come slick indie-rockers French Films. and from Norway we get Marit Larsen. But the gem on the bill is Icelandic singer Sóley (also a player in the excellent Sin Fang, amongst others) with her intricate, loveable, lo-fi compositions.
