Words by Quinn Whalley

"This was our first ever live gig as Paranoid London. It was late 2008 at the Warehouse Project in Manchester & the resident DJ, Krysko, took a risk & booked us knowing we’d never done it before. We were booked for 2 hours & we’d only released 2 records so we had to write a whole set from scratch. We didn’t finish writing it until 5 am the morning before the gig so we didn’t have time to rehearse it even once. It’s a hybrid live & DJ set. We bought Paris Brightledge over from Chicago to do some vocals & his friend Marshall Jefferson happened to live in Manchester & got up to do some backing vocals. You can hear the crowd in parts coming through Paris’ microphone. We’re shitting our pants but somehow we pulled it off & caught the bug for doing it live. Hope you enjoy it"
