KIGO sponsors N*E*R*D album launch






On Wednesday the 18th, KIGO descended on 140 Shoreditch High Street, Present London for the launch of "Nothing".
As expected, a great night was had by all, with all three members leading the party, and everyone kept satiated with a combination of KIGO and green tea. A simple, traditional, yet thirst quenching combination that fitted well with the heat of the shop. By the time the album introduction had finished and the party died down, little remained but some green tea remanents.
