XOYO is an "important new warehouse space in East London" according to its owners, a phrase that should strike fear into the hearts of any right-thinking person. And indeed, it's exactly what you'd imagine: an ill-ventilated, soulless concrete basement devoid of anything approaching charm or decent accoustics. A host of technical glitches, murky sound, and oppressive humidity overwhelmed the undoubtedly talented Former Ghosts; the bleak gothic intensity of Zola Jesus faired better, although without a backing band it did come across as karaoke with pretensions.
