Lynks turns the 100 Club into the best night out in London for Dork's Night Out

Strobe lights, stage invasions and SpongeBob.

Words:Jamie Muir
Photos:Nici Eberl

Thursday night at the iconic 100 Club in the heart of London, with a headline Dork favourite playing a tiny show? Yep, it's Dork's Night Out, alright - and when it comes to throwing a party, few come close to Lynks.

TATYANA cloaks the 100 Club in dripping late-night moods from the very first note. The plucking strings from her harp are immediate, and from there on out, it's her playground to warp and twist in. It's a set that revels in the playful punch of Fcukers and The Itch, yet leans more toward the club escape of it all ('Main Event' is but one shimmering example). It's a stonking set with strobe lights galore and seized as if it's TATYANA's own headline moment.

The crowd is overflowing with the urge for a party as Lynks takes to the stage, and there's no show on planet Earth quite like it. Do you know another performance that starts with a remixed version of the SpongeBob SquarePants theme tune, before dropping into the ping-pong bounce of 'Str8 Acting'? That's what we thought. What follows tonight is a set that is so unstoppable in its immediate fun and grin-inducing moments that you'll never want to go on another night out without Lynks being there with you. Call them a spirit animal. Call them a tour de force. Tonight is Lynks showing why they're unlike anyone else.

With a set that pulls across longtime favourites and a string of new material, it finds Lynks embracing ambition and slamming it firmly into the dancefloor. The foundations underneath the 100 Club are met with pogoing soles for 'Pedestrian At Best', 'USE IT OR LOSE IT' and 'Silly Boy' while 'ABOMINATION' struts and hooks the room into the palm of Lynks' hand. Backed with a full dance troop, it's impossible to feel anything less than overjoyed at every second.

It's played out in the brand-new tracks aired tonight, which never feel like a detour into uncharted territory but instead like Lynks putting their foot down firmer than ever on the world they're creating. 'Attention Economy' plays on the grinds of modern-day eye-grabbing culture with lines like "How do you like your eggs in the morning? I like mine with ketamine", while 'VIP' sees a stage invasion transform the 100 Club into a roped-off members club everyone wants to be a part of. 'London' is a bouncing ripper taking square aim at city life, and it cements what we've known from the very start: Lynks will seize every moment in front of them - and their next chapter is more unabashed and irresistible than ever before. 

Lynks crowdsurfs across the room and gets the entirety of The 100 Club jumping, before 'I Didn't Come Here For Art'puts fireworks on the end of the night with mosphits and Lynks firmly in the middle of the crowd. It's a show designed for celebration and communion.
