What was the last local gig you went to? How was it?
Pagan at Northcote Social Club. They were fucken awesome.

You're no doubt already sick of the 90s comparisons. But this song really does take me back to listening to triple j in 1997 and I promise you that is not a bad thing. It's also just a really bloody great song...

pulled things back just a touch and it works big time. not to worry though, there's still some classic riffs and melodies and so much to latch onto.
