02.03.12 Live from Hackney Road - 'Abby Holden & Legend in Japan'

After viewing the statue of Prince Albert in Hyde Park, Jamie ponders the merits of painting himself gold, sitting on a plinth and surrounding himself with an angry crowd of plasticine figurines thus becoming a living monument to himself. Jordan thinks that the best thing to do in these circumstance is to give Jamie a ludicrously long cable and sends him off to chat to the fantastic artists hiding in the corridors of Mr Honest's Hackney Road Studios. First live set comes from Abby Holden (abbyholden.com) where she discusses her current single "Everything" (available from iTunes & Amazon now!), the new album, being re-acquainted with her JD and, after a little Jamie-infused confusion, the potential of a new concept album/side project called "Stranger Fiction". The second hour at Hackney Road sees a performance from the very exciting and very new Legend in Japan (www.reverbnation.com/legendinjapan). They've only been going for a couple of weeks but their momentum is unquestionably full throttle; much like Spinal Tap, they've already lost/killed a bassist. Shabby, Pyro and Martin show just what you can achieve in such a short space of time with some punk ethics and crazy energies. We don't think this will be the last your hear from them!!"
