Went in cold (metaphorically as only had a quick Spotify listen on the way there), came out with a playlist, signed record and a plus ticked on my Spotify. They were a great live act that im pleased i’ve seen. Towards the end he said “we’ve only got two songs left, these will be high…
Met these lads last year after a day of music, I walked into the Joiners in Southampton and for me they owned the day / night. It wasn’t a competition but when you stand back and reflect on your day, they stood out by a mile. Dates haven’t lined up for gigs since but this…
3 years on from Paul’s Boutique, the third album from the Beastie Boys was released on April 21st 1992, I remember it well, at the time it seemed a long way on from Licensed to ill, and it was, that was released in 1986 and a lot happens in your life at that time in…
