RC 276: Shallots Not Hot
Love is in the air, but oddly it’s the love of onions, even the Ladies of Shallots, and Big Shaq.

Anklepants
Probably the strangest Boiler Room act you’ll ever see (the audience are usually weirder though) – Anklepants, the Australian musician, artist and prosthetics and animatronics genius creates the sort of uber-freaky party that shows how staid all the other Boiler Room performances are. He’s a sort of horror techno clown, a Jake And Dinos Chapman…
