Murray Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Peeps, listen up, they are a must see band, get your dancing shoes on because they are funky to the max! If you haven't heard them, think of q and not u without the punk edges, a cleaner sound and a very british sounding singer and you've got the departure. I know there are alot of gigs on in october, some awesome gigs actually, but if you have no interest in biffy, hifh, sugarcult... and want something to dance to go to the departure! you'll love them.Murray.
