Koko Von Napoo EP Launch w/Eugene McGuinness & Metronomy DJs @ Home.Under.Ground, London Buffalo Bar, 23/7/09
By: Mike Harounoff
Our good friend, writer and sometime telly presenter Mike Harounoff runs a club night that looks pretty good, so we thought we’d tell you about it. Simple as that.
Koko Von Napoo
French synth pop quartet riding the waves of the hype machine but with the songs and style to pull it off perfectly. This dude at The Guardian says it better than i can and in much more detail.

Eugene McGuinness and The Lizards
Charming and inimitable McGuinness's debut LP proved to be one of the most exciting albums of 2008. Now backed by a full band, The Lizards, Eugene's set is sure to be a wonder as he performs some new tracks and some particularly awesome covers!

Swanton Bombs
Past Home.Under.Ground headliners (twice) and all round bloody good guys. Swanton Bombs should literally carry a written apology around with them to your old favourite band that they aren't needed any more, and can take a little holiday to the cd rack/vinyl box/tape stack/mini disk pile (or maybe you just won’t click on their name as much on iTunes).

Dj's //
Metronomy DJ SET!
Taking over the decks after the bands is a Mr.Joseph Mount better know to well everybody as METRONOMY. Taking a break from playing festivals all over Europe the producer of the Koko Von Napoo EP set will certaintly be something of legend for the basement-sized Buffalo Bar. I'm not sure how we can managed to get this to happen, but it is happening, and it's going to be awesome!

Your Twenties DJ's
In a musical climate where the idea of "thats f**king weird IT MUST BE GOOD" reigns free, 'Your Twenties' fly the flag for indie pop and they're doing an awesome job. Tracks like ‘Billionaires’ and ‘Caught the Wheel’ are summer hits and it’s very much an honour to have them manning the decks at home.under.ground.

Transparent DJ's
Transparent seem to have this music industry sh*t pretty much covered. Write an awesome blog informing everybody of the most exciting up and coming bands all over the world CHECK. Start record label and release music from credible and interesting artists that are bound to be huge CHECK
Put on club nights but only use bands that people absoutely adore *example Foals. Late of the Pier. Telepathe* CHECK
With all that in mind I reckon we can conclude they're going to be pretty awesome dj's as well!
