Our Friends Electric

Last night’s TV21 show at the Electric Circus was certainly one of the more raucous the band have put on since reforming. It was a performance which was slightly at odds with the fairly refined surroundings of the Electric Circus, littered as it is with sofas and even a chaise lounge very close to the…

Upcoming – TV21 and Panda Su

Still waiting to find out what’s happened to my storage account but in the meantime I’m looking forward to TV21’s performance on Saturday (25th) at the Electric Circus.
