Damn straight. Extra £500 (used banknotes) and I’ll chuck in the ep. Glas goes pop can get expensive.

Relax, he left on time and is ready. Left me with a record so I can have my own listening party later.

Waiting for the @allodarlin.bsky.social listening party? Label boss @fikarecordings.com is in the pub so may be an unreliable commentator. Trust in Mike @slumberlandrecords.com for words of wisdom tonight

Route one jangle punk played fast and to the point. They may only know the Shop Assistants and Talulah Gosh but that’s enough. Magnificent. @madridpopfest.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social

Flashback to 1992 when @theclientele.bsky.social were 18yo, had Maurice Deebank emblazoned on their exercise books and had just got into the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Time cannot wither them or their songs obvs.

Two sets. 33 songs. The hardest working band in show business. @theclientele.bsky.social
