Ack!!

So I'm trying to get Frankenstein a London gig to go along with their Whitby appearance and every goddam venue is booked!

Water Rats - booked
Purple Turtle - booked
Dublin Castle - won't do outside promotions
On the Rocks - booked
Metro - waiting for them to get back to me
Bar Academy - waiting for them to get back to me <- now this would be nice actually!
Upstairs at the Garage - booked
Upstairs at the Marquee - not going THERE again!
The Verge - sold :(

And then there's the "too big and/or expensive category", which are probably all booked by this point too. I know it's cutting it close to the bone for a late April gig, but they just announced Whitby so I didn't have a lot of warning myself.

Anyone else know of any decent, reasonably central, 100-200 capacity venues that can host bands, that might be available? Otherwise I think I'm going to have to bag the idea :/

The Buffalo Bar in Highbury? That's a nice little venue.

The Hope and Anchor in Highbury is possibly a bit too small but I dunno. I'm not sure what the capacity actually is.

The 12 Bar Club, off Charing Cross Road? I'm not sure if they have a music policy, I haven't ever seen a goth/deathrock band there, but it's about the right size...

Oh and the Boston Arms in Tufnall Park is a fair old decent size and I hear thats quite cheap

The 100 Club on Oxford Street is pretty small (I am crap at judging spaces though so I have no idea how many people would fit) - where Siouxsie played a year ago or so?

Hm, people seem to have mentioned most of the obvious ones. Barfly/Monarch, maybe?

The White Horse on Brixton Hill?
The Windmill on Brixton Hill?

I might be biased to the south...
