Do It Yourself 2

DIY"The DIY movement is about using anything you can get your hands on to shape your own cultural entity: your own version of whatever you think is missing in mainstream culture. You can produce your own zine, record an album, publish your own book - the enduring appeal of this movement is that anyone can be an artist or creator. The point is to get involved." - Amy Spencer's 'DIY: The Rise of Lo-Fi Culture' .

Here are some more of the brilliant bands that you'll be able to see playing live at the Do You DIY? event
at the Old Queens Head in Islington. It's still better than putting up shelves and painting walls
