Giro Playboy live up to the hype - to close London festival

We predicted a couple of months ago that the future looked rosy for left-field urban slacker rap duo Giro Playboy. They're living up to the hype, and have just been picked to close the prestigious Clerkenwell Literary Festival.

Following hot names like authors Will Self and Iain Sinclair, and ex-KLF art terrorist Bill Drummond, they're on at LSO St Lukes at 8pm next Wednesday, 14 July:

The Idler Presents Love and Money: Bill Drummond… Plus tales from the underclass courtesy of the Giro Playboy. LSO St Lukes, £7.50. Tel 0207 691 0319

You can still catch them free at their regular Thursday residency at the Whitechapel Gallery. Next date is Thursday 22 July. But hurry, London's hottest young act won't be playing free gigs for much longer:

Especially now they're being noticed by Britain's most influential arbiter of taste in youth culture, the NME:
