The Presets at Digital
Published 9th Jun 2008 by Kristian Bannister

The Presets + Blah Blah Blah Djs on Friday 27th June 2008 at Digital from 7:30pm - 10:30am!  Incase you haven't heard, Barfly has shut it's doors which means this gig has now been relocated to Digital. Tickets already bought are still valid on the night. The doors are still 7:30pm - 10:30pm, however it is now an over 18s gig. If you require a refund, you will be able to get one from the website/shop you bought it from. We are sorry if this causes any problems, however we think you'll agree that it will still be an amazing gig and even better now thanks to Digital's state of the art sound and lighting.

Kimberley Isaac Moyes was but a young man, small of stature but big of heart, down on his luck, doing the odd performance in a downtown gay bar and eating anchovies from tin cans discarded in the alley behind a local Italian restaurant, putting all his dollar bills in a pillow, with the dream to one day have enough money to buy a Moog synthesiser.

Julian Hamilton was the new bus boy in said food joint, robust and ambitious, taking out the trash and sweating like a malaria ravaged wrestler when he one day chanced upon poor Kim out the back, sucking on those oily little fish like hed never tasted such a delicacy.

These encounters out the back of Luigis Linguini And Pasta Allsorts became regular, and led to the occasional lunch date, when Julian would not only smuggle Kim a fresh can of anchovies, but would even share his own chef-cooked meal. The boys found friendship over faggotini, had leisurely lunches scheming up ways for Kim to stay one step ahead of the Child Protection Services who longed to send the delinquent off to an orphanage in Mongolia, they dreamed of the myriad ways Julian could swindle his evil boss Luigi, and held heated debates about their shared passion, music.

It was in these early days that Kim and Julian realized their meeting had been fateful, and that one day they would make good on their shared desire to make moody, crisp electronic future pop.

If youve ever wondered what they might play when youre standing there staring at the fork in the road between heaven and hell, this could be it.
