Ah, Half Moon All Stars nostalgia! First time we performed this one live, if I recall, so it’s a bit rough and ready, but it was always one of the band’s favourites (I think it was one of the few that sounded great the first time we even tried it in rehearsals). (more…)

This very ramshackle Half Moon All Stars album, also featuring (my) local favourites Jessica Law and Sam Taplin, was put together way back in 2014 by basically just sticking a recording device at the stage.
