The Astoria is located at 165 Charing Cross Road, London WC2. The venue is actually located directly above the Mean Fiddler where the Elektrofest was held last year.

MODEM TIMES Launch Delayed

Kinetik had hoped to launch the long-awaited MODEM TIMES album at the Elektrofest event. However, illness and last-minute work commitments have prevented completion in time for the concert. Work resumed on the album at the start of 2003, soon after the purchase and development of new studio equipment. According to Colin & Andrew, the new music is now sounding “very good !”.

It is now expected that MODEM TIMES will finally be released in the summer, possibly to coincide with another live performance currently in negotiation. The album is expected to retail for £12.00 pounds plus the usual P&P rates if ordered via mail-order.
