The Good, The Bad And The Queen will play the last ever gig at London's Hammersmith Palais before it gets bulldozed into the ground to make way for a lovely serviced office complex. As previously reported, council chiefs gave the OK for the iconic venue to be demolished last month, despite opposition from fans and locals to the plan. The Damon Albarn project will play the venue's finale gig on 31 Mar.
By the way, I forgot to say, those of you losing sleep over the thought of the SchoolDisco being homeless following the Palais' closure, fear not, London's long running pop night has already found a new home at the Forum in Kentish Town. Here's what SchoolDisco founder Bobby Sanchez told CMU: "SchoolDisco is thrilled to be invited to The Forum. As one of the most iconic music venues in the country, it has the right space, and is in a great location. It's the perfect destination for the lovers of music's best tunes that flock to SchoolDisco every week". Oh, and for those of you making ironic gestures towards our coverage of SchoolDisco, we hear they'll be something of a revamp of the night at its new home with guest sets from a number of very credible DJs. More on that when we get it.
