LIVE REVIEW: George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic @ Metro, Sydney (24/04/11)

LIVE REVIEW: Grace Jones @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (19/04/11)
written by Chris Familton This was dubbed the Hurricane Tour which was kind of strange considering the album of the same name was released 3 years ago.

This was … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Grace Jones @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (19/04/11)
