  • Booka Shade will perform live this Thursday at London's Koko. The duo, which released their sophomore LP The Sun & The Neon Light earlier this year, will take to the stage at one of the capital's most celebrated live venues. Formerly known as The Camden Hippodrome, The Music Machine, The Camden Palace, and finally Koko, the venue has housed the varied likes of Charlie Chaplin, The Sex Pistols and Visage. Add Booka Shade to that list of stars this Thursday, along with Get Physical labelmates Patrick Bodmer (M.A.N.D.Y.) and Heidi. As a result, expect Arno and Walter to be relaxed and ready to bring alive tunes from The Sun, as well as classics like "Mandarin Girl" and "Body Language." Be careful, though: Doors open at the early hour of 8 PM and Koko's website states that most Thursday nights end at 12:00 AM.
