Hello there.

And a hope that this finds you in the company of gentle hands, travelling on optimistic muscles….and maybe, arriving.

This month, in particular, we are very happy to be slam-dancing in the shadow of ‘the greatest sporting show on earth’ in celebration of The Global Grace of Feet…and kicking.

It’s massive. It’s football.

And then, after the final , final whistle is blown, somebody, probably in shorts, will get given a big shiny trophy that looks like the erect cock of a giant golden horse.

All this World Cuppery will almost certainly be on the tv at some point, so sure worth keeping an eye out for it…but should you happen to miss all that stuff, we’ve got some other things for your hands to squeeze ( with delight) and also some places where you can take your shoes (and their contents).

PERFUME GENIUS

Soon, PERFUME GENIUS will be wandering (with intent) into these following rooms and halls for a string of really special gigs

PERFUME GENIUS DATES

Go here - www.turnstilemusic.net ‘cos we’re streaming the PERFUME GENIUS album, “LEARNING” in advance of its official release date ( June 21st ). just because we can.

It’s also about celebrations, trophies and mixed showers over at ‘The Mighty Republic of ISLET’ this month.
