UnderLondon at Fabrica

A full house and an eager crowd ready to party greeted the bands at this, the fourth UnderLondon event. Quite a transformation from the first event 12 months ago when the punters didn't seem to know how to react to a live band on stage. What a difference a year makes. Now there is a growing indie scene in Bucharest and attitudes and styles have caught up. In fact if you looked around you, you could have mistaken it for a warehouse party in east london.

I was especially looking forward to tonight as some friends of mine were representing the London contingency. Battant are a four piece band from Shoreditch, their sound taking the best bits from new wave, electro, indie and lots of low slung bass! I chatted with Chloe, the lead singer, before the gig, and she was feeling the same enthusiasm and excitement for the city I felt when first here. When it came to their performance, they didn't dissapoint, stirring up the crowd and leaving them shouting and screaming for more.
