Incendiary interview Xavier Rudd
“
(I watch as he lights the joint several times, it burns and the smoke fills the room. It smells lovely. I just relax and breathe it in.

Gig listings

If you want to know what events are coming up in the capital, (That’ll be Amsterdam for all you people that don’t know) then we would like to direct you to Underwater Amsterdam, a site that’s run by a dear friend of Incendiary’s, Pip Farquharson.
We thought about writing our own listings, but seems as Pip has the most informative and in depth listings page on Amsterdam that you could ever imagine, we decided we’d just direct you there instead. So go, have a look around, find out what’s on. Just don’t forget to come back here, where we’ll tell you what the event was like. http://www.underwateramsterdam.com/
Plus, over on Pip’s site you can read a monthly recommendation for gigs in Amsterdam, (written by our very own Damian Leslie, no less) by clicking here
