Have you heard about Pig Pen yet? It's a night we put on down here at The Macbeth, run by Ben and Gabriel. Gabriel is on the autistic scale and chooses the acts with his yes / no device. I'm going to meet Ben and find out what that actually means later, but in the meantime I've found some ridiculously glowing reviews of Tim Ten Yen who's playing tonight, and below is some advice from Lecool recommending you come and see him. Read it here (below), or read it there - http://lecool.com/cities/london/newsletters/current.html

Tim Ten Yen, from www.Lecool.com
"My highlight from our first ever le cool party last year was encountering a seemingly clockwork man singing to a frisky pop backing tape and occasionally wielding a frazzled-looking mechanical cat. I felt the kind of instant affection only one absolute weirdo can feel for another. Having sufficiently recovered from that Tim Ten Yen set, I’m ready for more, this time as part of Pig Pen, at the Macbeth. Come and see what I mean. Citing influences such as ‘Chris de Burgh live at Wembley Arena Sunday 20th November 1988’, ‘Sony Walkman’ and ‘Mr. Harris (my music teacher)’, Tim Ten Yen might well be expected to produce rather a bizarre breed of noise; indeed, it’s an intriguing blast of slightly dancey 80s-style pop, replete with playful bouncey keyboards, and topped with talk of forests and bears. I do hope the cat will attend. / Lara Kavanagh"
