Stanley Super 800 “Louder & Clearer” (Sofa)
Super Extra Bonus Party “Super Extra Bonus Party” (Alphabet Set)
Hadn’t expected to see Kila or Stanley Super 800 in the running. The early responses seems to be surprise at the ommision of Mumblin’ Deaf Ro’s The Herring and the Brine. My Brother Woody haven’t made the cut either. I would’ve loved to see The WYOs Throw Your Arms Up to Heaven in there too. Jim’s blog will undoubtably be a hotbed of Choicy discussion over the next few days. Arm yourself with a cuppa before getting to the comments…
Congratulations to everyone selected, may the best band win…the grand finale takes place at Vicar St on February 27th. Photos galore
