PursonThe most exciting news for this show is that the legendary Los Angeles band Last have some new songs ready for the album. There were talks about this record for at least eight years now, but it looks like it’s finally ready. Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth has a new band called Dust and their drummer Steve Shelley is also there. We have two new bands from London this time. Proctors is a band of paisley underground revisionists and Purson is a strange goth rock band that is equally inspired by Siouxsie Sioux and 60s psychedelic sounds. We dedicate this show to Phil Chevron, guitar player of The Radiators from Space and Pogues.
