Such a brilliant line up. Punching Swans opened the bill with another ferocious 30 minute set, then F.O. Machete played their first London show in almost 20 years and were also ace #chopsgigs @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social #punchingswans @fomachete.bsky.social

A brilliant night at The Lex watching Slime City celebrate the release of brilliant second album, National Record of Achievement. I had to sell my front row ticket for Tune-Yards but no way I’d want to miss this one #chopsgigs #slimecity @slimecitymusic.bsky.social @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social

Pretty fucking cool to finally see The Fiery Furnaces live. Stripped down piano & vocal versions of their songs still absolutely wonderful. Added bonus of a headline set from Destroyer that I also enjoyed #chopsgigs #destroyer #thefieryfurnaces #barbican
