Hecklergigs: Stars @ Koko, London 29/1

It wasn’t so long ago that we were banging on about Stars in our MySpace Trawl feature. Whilst we’d like to think that it inspired somebody to invest in their music, we couldn’t be quite sure. No banners were on prominent display with slogans such as “Hecklerspray brought us here” and “honk if you like hecklerspray”.

Still you can’t have everything you want in life, but regardless of our own potential ego-boosting propaganda of this band not being recognised, the venue was still rammed to capacity. For those who had never been to the place before, it was a unique little venue. The theatre-style layout presented the perfect viewing platform from nearly every angle. Though if you wanted to be packed in close with your fellow gig-goer, the chance was still there.
