First in a series of interviews with bloggers contributing recommendations to Songkick!
London blogger: Slutty Fringe
(One of my favorite blog titles of all time.)
- Name? Tony Poland
- Age? The wrong side of 20.
- Occupation? Definitely not what I wanted to be when I was five.
- How long have you lived in London? Long enough to have lived through electroclash.
- Favorite London venue? Plastic People
- How long have you been blogging? Since July 2006
- How did you choose the name of your blog? Girls with fringes is a good look, and I couldn’t think of a music-shaped name that didn’t sound proper wack. (Ed., a fringe is the same as bangs in Americuh.)
- First concert? Cypress Hill at Brixton Academy in 1994.
- Most recent concert? Poney Poney at 93 Feet East
- Most memorable concert? Santogold at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen cos I kept trying to steal Mapei’s hat
- Most disappointing? I don’t think I’ve ever been to a gig where I’ve left less than impressed by the music. Actually… scratch that. A girl somehow convinced me to go Reverend & The Makers last year–truly awful stuff
- Dream line-up? A reformed Gang of Four and LCD Soundsystem to open, then Funkadelic space jamming with Daft Punk with mic support from A Tribe Called Quest with dance routines from Gwen Stefani’s Japanese muses. The after party has Maurice Fulton, Carl Craig and Boys Noize playing records.
