The (Royal We) Show: Musical Checks And Balances

The show: Old acquaintances and new friends

As promised, today we played tracks from some old acquaintances such as …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (didn’t realise they’d been around since 1993! but they were one of the first bands we played on The Joint when we started the show way back in 2001), Fujiya & Miyagi, and Destroyer. But even I wasn’t expecting The Herb Whisperer to play Wang Chung / Huang Chung!!!

We weren’t kidding about Rastamouse either.
