Those smart and sexy, fresh and wild, budding young indie bunny rabbits,  The Answering Machine play Bloody Awful Poetry night at The Last Days Of Decadence in a chilly Shoreditch last night. Nice to see lovely adoring Machine fans from the yu ess ov aye as well as Japan, Holland and France in the audience; their fame is clearly spreading. Your esteemed Heistman could have done without the trawling of the cold streets of Shoreditch for a post show Makers on the rocks, all to no avail.

However, the end of a good week for Heist and The Machine with kudos going out to John Kennedy of XFM, Mike Taylor of US station WOXY.COM and also the legend that is the BBC’s Huw Stephens for all playing Cliffer on air, The Answering Machine’s first single from Another City, Another Sorry.
