Seems as if the wee Icehouse SM colab cover of Get It On is getting much more promo “back home” than it is here. Anyway, good that the little clip was put up on YouTube to see. The tour will be “wilder” than 1981? Lol. I highly doubt it! Given the kind of stuff they’d…

Well well well – look what we have here! I guess that’s why Sarah went to Nice a few weeks back, to lay down her vocals for this. Gotta say, it ain’t bad! Nostalgia tripping to the max, hey boys? Even right down to that fab Roadrunner magazine photo. Click the image to take a…
Firstly, I hope my regulars that visit and those who land here on the odd occasion are enjoying the new look site. I know it has been going through some aesthetic changes of late and it took some searching for me to find a new theme that I was happy with. This current layout will…
