Indie music in Islington
Last night I had a good excuse to go out, as one of my friends was playing with her band in Islington. The venue called Buffalo Bar is quite easy to find, just a few meters away from Highbury & Islington station and is famous for the quality of its indie rock gigs. I found the atmosphere quite friendly. The stage is in the middle of the room so you can get really close to the bands playing.
The event was held by Koko Von Napoo who was celebrating the launch of their new EP alongside with a bunch of up-and-coming indie rock bands. The music ranged from dreamy electro pop to punchy rock. I enjoyed the show, although I was a bit disappointed by the lack of support from the audience.
This venue is also quite famous for its flavoured vodka shots, including strawberry, cherry, pear, pistachio, and choc-mint. If you’re a beer amateur, be aware that there are no draught beers available, only bottles. Anyway, you should really give it a try as it’s one of the most entertaining places in Islington!
