Since I haven’t seen Taken by Cars live for a long time, I was glad that they performed at the Globe Flagship Store Launch held a few weeks ago. They played some new songs during their gig. (more…)

Greyhoundz

I was able to watch the final part of Splintr Unplugged with Sha. For bands like Greyhoundz and Slapshock, the words “unplugged” and “acoustic” would mean the exact opposite of their music. But in last night’s concert in Teatrino, the unplugged versions of their songs are amazing. (more…)
