Farrah
Rock!
We saw for the first time Phil's old friend Andy's band Farrah and they
were excellent. Described loosely by the press as power-pop, we saw them
in London following their recent tour of the UK and imediately purchased
their debut album Moustache. Their web site link has always been available
on our friend links page, but now having
heard and enjoyed their music we would like to promote them further. We
hear they are doing very well, so check 'em out, you will enjoy their music. |
