2016 highlight of the year
Seeing Explosions In The Sky at Royal Albert Hall, and seeing This Heat, Andrew Tuttle, Rangda, Chris Corsano and more at the excellent Cafe OTO venue in London.
prediction for 2017
Incendiary creativity to kick against the orange-skinned pricks. Good music that regains and retains political bite. And trying to remain positive and proactive before Skynet prevails.
