Funnily enough, they did not play at the last knotfest. Plenty of other good bands - disturbed, the Hu, etc.

This bands albums were named in the top 10 Best of the decade (2000s) by a few music industry groups but virtually no-one in Australia has even heard of them.
If you could get MOFRO to play the Bridgetown Blues Festival, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
PS; put the headphones on, look out a window and drift away.
PPS; Wait for the build.

Are you kidding me? Whilst those in lockdown had to settle for what was on tv, we regional Qlders got to go to live events.

Your standard go-to question should always be - "Am I doing something right?"

The whole experience of seeing a live band is intoxicating. Imagine a world where the music was virtual reality tv. Watch "Ready Player One" for more information about where I am going.

I started watching that movie once. It's a really bad children's show.

It is NOT designed for children. It is a clever teen movie.
