Bang Bang Eche came back to stay for around a week, give or take a few days of them disappearing to play some other shows around the Greater LDN.
So they arrived on Friday while I was at work… I asked T’Nealle to bring my camera to Kokos where they were playing.
Later on I found they took a few snaps with the camera before delivering it.
This is Sheridan, their tour manager. He has a good blog which chronicles their tour across Europe.

Koko’s is very red. You can’t tell how red in these pictures.
After the sound check we went wandering round the backstage area of Koko’s. It was a crazy maze of doors and stairs. The Bang Bang Eche dressing room was at the top of the longest set of stairs
It was pretty quiet early on, Koko is such a massive venue I guess it would have been hard to tell how many people were there, but by the time Polka Party and BBE took the stage things were pretty busy.
Liz and Maria were in the crowd. Meg had decided not to stay in honour of being able to catch the last tube home.
Maria had a package for Charlie from Kim which had been sent to her house.
They spent a lot of time dancing with it in the crowd.
After a while, in my slightly vodka educed state, I suggested that the package didn’t seem breakable and we should just throw it on the stage so we didn’t have to carry it round.
After the show, we found Dan and Rory too, so we decided to drag our team of Kiwis backstage and have a little New Zealand appreciation party.
