The King Blues + Mouthwash + Moral Dilemma + The Meow Meows

The Roundhouse
London, UK
Wednesday 24th March 2010
So my first trip to the legendary Roundhouse in Camden, one of the last remaining bastions of live music in the capital I had yet to venture into and what a lineup to lose my Roundhouse virginity.
All the hype and talk was unsurprisingly about the headliner himself in what…
