what happened
Minute by minute report, via text message, by the BBC's Matt Humphreys.
- 19.23 - Camden's Roundhouse is filling up. People are either nursing their first pint or sitting on the floor texting their mates. Crazy kids!
- 19.26 - For a 'bedroom' genius, James Chapman aka Maps has a load of gear set up on stage for the band's performance tonight.
- 19.33 - Lights go down, Maps walk on stage. James is on the beer.
- 19.36 - Opening track is 'So Low, So High' and its obvious straight off why they draw comparisons with Spiritualised and Grandaddy.
- 19.37 - Great start and the Bloc Party loyalists show some love.
