Thurston on the raw power of his new favourite band - Big Joanie
 

Thank you!
:)

I don't get the hype around this band at all.

first time encounter with Big Joanie band via link above.

me either...definition of punk rock for Thurston its strange to me...maybe hipster punk ?!

Well he does live in hipster central.

In his defence (not that I feel the need to defend him): I've seen support acts that I didn't know before but liked a lot and bought their album from their merch desk. Only to return home and listen to the album and didn't like it as much and never listened to that album again. Perhaps this was one of those nights for him.
I watched parts of their KEXP session and was still underwhelmed. But they are special in the sense that I don't know many female afro bands playing this kind of music. But then again, I often have no clue about the bands you all are raving about ��

If people like them for that reason it would be incredibly patronising

That bit is so true...

oops

Another troll? Gotta be Rudy G...
