Vitality & Magnetism
Live Review: Hey Sholay, Supported by The Book Club, & Seize the Chair @ The Forum 09.02.11
I’ll dispense with the boring introduction.
First up is Sheffield-based band Seize The Chair, who play an enjoyable brand of chugging geek rock with a distinctly British feel.

Maybe it’s because Mr. Jeff Garber (TJC’s vocalist & guitarist, also from Castor, National Skyline and Year of the Rabbit. That’s a CV.) is not that into Internet stuff.

It’s Friday (hey, where did the week go, uh?) and we have a veritable selection of songs we’ve listened, either because we like them or because we were bribed with Mars bars.

Wake up song – 151
It’s October now so it’s officially time for creepy, weird things and I have to say that this video totally freaks me out. But it’s also COLD so it’s time for a winter ‘hymn’! Misky Continue reading Wake up song – 151
