And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Robot Vs Dinosaur will be back at Island on Friday September 19th, provided that the world doesn’t get destroyed by the Large Hadron Collider come this Wednesday (EDIT- didn’t happen in the end… how disappointing!).

Thanks to everyone who came to Robot Vs Dinosaur last Fri, hope you all had a fantastic night. Arc Vel laid down some strikingly organic-sounding beats, gorgeously augmented by live guitar and beautiful undersea visuals, whilst those foolishly sat outside smoking during Portmanteau‘s set missed a flawless exercise in owl-rotation, soundtracked by their trademark ultra-glitchy […]
