...it's kinda his first show with this line-up/set-up...
is it?
he had a band supporting lc! t'other week?
wow@his hair.
he looks like beyoncé.
and he had a band
when he played at the barfly DiS show last year.
this song
is completely awful.
I bloody love dev and love
his lightspeed stuff. no suprise on the myspace is brilliant. go dev!
unsure...
if i like this or not, but it's not as atrocious as i first thought. nice enough, have to see what the rest is like?
cant wait
for the album, im loving the single and I think there is a lot of potential for something magical here. great stuff from the ex-icicle.
Its a grower
but in no way is his show a debut...
quite
nice.
