This is nice and a welcome back too
Spent much of this weekend talking about bands whose recorded output never matched the urgency of their live gigs. And The Carbs got a mention. I saw them many many times and when they played Magic Suitcase I used to get goosebumps; however, the studio version was soulless and dull.
Does this mean they'll be playing again sometime soon?
Glad you enjoyed it OPC.
