The Stool Pigeon to host its own live 'wake', featuring Savages & more

Recently-defunct satirical music newspaper, The Stool Pigeon has announced plans to host its own live “wake” next month.

The gig in question will take place on 4 March at The Lexington in London, featuring live sets from Savages, Teeth Of The Sea and Hermot.

Tickets are £10 and available here.

Stool Pigeon, which launched in 2005, recently revealed that their Dec/Jan issue would be the last

Editor Phil Hebblethwaite said the reasons behind the decision were the tenstions between print media and the online world.

In his parting letter, Hebblethwaite wrote: “I wanted to do much more online, but the newspaper sucked up nearly all our resources and time. It’s proved impossible to do both as well as we’d like and, to be frank, we’re knackered.”
