LIVE MUSIC IS BACK!!!
Click on the links to read my live reviews over at Louder Than War.
It was great to begin to get back into the swing of things with live music too with great shows by The Lovely Eggs, Arab Strap, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Billy Nomates, Laura Marling, Deathretro, Benefits, Osees and Hands Off Gretel.
