R.I.P Astoria
London venue Astoria closes its doors for the last time this weekend. A victim of the Crossrail project the venue has hosted most of the big names in music since it was converted to a venue from a cinema in 1976. With bands such as The Rolling Stones and Radiohead citing it among their favourite places to play it will not just be audiences that miss its intimate (sometimes beer throwing) atmosphere.
In more recent years Chimpomatic have seen some highly rated performances from Pearl Jam and My Morning Jacket
