I have to admit before writing this that my forays with The Paddingtons come mostly from what's playing via their myspace at the moment, but it seems most necessary to prescribe this gig out of their history and fan base (and also the fact that what myspace is playing me is pretty good).
With an astounding amount of live shows under their belt including Reading and Leeds, they're famous by wikipedia standards for energetic live gigs and a willingness to play anywhere - which includes the Freebutt today. In the same league as The Cribs and Dirty Pretty things, having played with both, and Pete Doherty also rates them. I'm not sure if that last one helps, hinders, or matters at all though.
You can find them over on Twitter where they describe themselves as "Sex, drugs and Oakenfold". The current tour is promoting second album 'No Mundane Options' and if you're lucky they'll do a live cover of a Clash song.
If you like your good old noisy, somewhat traditional indie music then catch it at the Freebutt tonight. Arrive at 7:30pm and bring £7 with yourself for entry.
