The Property Reports

The fox as most city dwellers know is a pretty common sight, rooting around gardens and alleyways at all times of the day and night, skulking for tasty scraps and terrorising domestic pets as well as unsuspecting humans. A much rarer beast Leverton Fox, spotted opening for Sons of Kemet at the Vortex last night, nonetheless shared much in common with its vulpine namesake, full of agreeably feral Radiophonic workshop-driven rumblings from the undergrowth.
