Owing to an earlier unplanned desperate fix of a washing machine, Spectrals are the victims. Which is a shame but, given the presence of other bands on the rest of the bill, is far from unrecoverable. The first of those support bands to shower me in melod»
DiS met up with The Chap and had a chat with Johannes von Weizsäcker (guitar, vocals, cello, computer, keyboards) & Keith Duncan (drums, vocals, keys)) DiS: Well hello. First up, I’ve never seen you guys in the flesh before but have read that t»
It is often said that here exists a lack of high quality bands coming from the island known as Australia. Or rather, there aren't enough of them.
