i can't remember his name for sure now but Lexis rings a bell. i know some of the dudes who live/lived in the TRC as well so maybe we got some mutual frandz. wouldn't want to go into detail about what he was sayin on here (more than the neighbours thing), not that it's scandalous or anythin just he probably wouldn't have shared if he thought i'd go blabbin on the internet. u probably know the gist of it anyway.
yeh i clocked the wriggling. i see more clearly what ur after now, sounds like a singular night with a seriously loyal crowd. the only thing i can say i've experienced like that in london which i thought was great was WU. i do get what ur saying about a 'WU record' too. i've never heard of the others u mentioned but im guessin they're a bit before my time? seein as i was only in ldn 2010-13 before now.
this is gunna make me sound basic but Church at Corsica studios on a thursday was the only other thing i showed up regularly for and felt most of the crowd had loyalty to whilst i was a student. me n mates went cuz it was regular every week so casual, no militant planning in advance. guaranteed to be a mix of girls n guys there. music was always going to be roughly up our street no matter who the specific name they booked was. and it was like £3 or free. it was an art school student vibe tho and no real 'identity' other than that. can't help thinkin that anything at Corsica studios is never going to have its own identity. maybe that's cuz i've rinsed it too hard over the years. im sure canavan's in peckham probably ticks all those boxes n is the new fresh-to-ldn art student place to be and that's why it gets the write-ups. main problem is it's a pool hall and it literally fuckin stinks.
