Making it to 20 years old as a British indie band is mightily impressive. How many groups have fallen at the ego-fuelled wayside? Sustaining a fan base, drive and creative output is hard enough without considering two decades of friendship with the other members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Bombay Bicycle Club have managed just that. The London four-piece have long been one of the most respected alternative groups in the UK, with huge hits, seminal festival performances, and several acclaimed albums in tow. Two of such records, I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose<\/em> and Flaws<\/em>, are receiving an extra special commemoration this summer, with the band set to play both respectively in two sets for a headline showcase at LIDO Festival in June, supported by the likes of Metronomy, Alice Phoebe Lou and Billie Marten (tickets for that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

To warm up ahead of the summer extravaganza, over the weekend, Bombay took over one of London\u2019s most iconic grassroots venues, Camden Assembly, for two nights of heritage and sing-alongs. Taking it back to the early days, the band played tracks from MySpace demos and early EPs. Tickets were awarded from a prize draw, with proceeds going to Universal Music UK Sound Foundation. There\u2019s also an additional two nights this coming weekend, 20th and 21st March, at the equally legendary Nambucca.<\/p>\n

Below, Wonderland take a look inside the two-night extravaganza, in two photo diaries.<\/em><\/p>\n
