I have this album playing in the background at work right now. It’s probably about the last physical CD I bought. I bought it at one of their gigs at the Corner Hotel about 15 years ago. I think a couple of them even autographed it.
If you remember these guys from the 80’s/90’s, you’ll remember them as a fairly energetic rock band. This CD is something of a greatest hits, but acoustic version. It is basically just the guys sitting around in one of their houses, chilling and playing their songs unplugged. You can really picture a bunch of muso mates sitting around in a circle and jamming for fun with big grins on their faces.
You get a new appreciation of their talent as their songs are stripped right back and re-assembled. I love it! I’d love the perspective of someone who doesn’t know their music.
They were great live
They really are. The gig I went to was great - with Taxiride opening.
Oh look! They’re playing at the Corner Hotel again this Sunday! Pity the gig is sold out.
