Sally Crewe

A pleasant sounding retro paisley pop episode today fits the November gloom. We start off with Left Outsides, a duet from London with Mark Nicholas and Alison Cotton. Then we check out The BellTowers from Orlando, FL. A new band that grew out of The Steppes, The Laissez Fairs contribute with the new single and so does the legendary Clientele who we are happy to see back. Also out in UK, from the Medway area, we have Theatre Royal and on the other side of the Earth, in New Zealand, we check out Lamp of the Universe. Stateside, Sally Crewe teams up with Doug Gillard and over in New Jersey we check out psychedelic sounds of Garcia Peoples.
