Making It Count
“We used to run a venue at that pub. It was called the Bum Club. We’d charge a buck to get in. In those days you had to provide food, so we’d make a chilli and four or five bands would play. We also had films and strippers.”
Who Are You?
"I think maybe we’d had a few songs on Pitchfork or something – it’s funny when that happens, you just notice a lot of young dudes [in the crowd] with their arms crossed, checking you out. Like, ‘Is this cool? Should I be here?’ I remember there were a lot of young guys there doing that."
Dan Condon: Sick Tunes, June 15, 2012
The only place in the world where sub-two minute pop-punk gems can sit happily alongside ten minute slow jam R&B epics.
