Tonight, one of UFog’s lovely replacement announcers when I’m unavoidably away, Shannon O’Neill, came in to talk about a fantastic Aussie festival coming to Sydney next weekend, Liquid Architecture 7. There’s also some new music and some not-so-new music, as you may well have come to expect from the ‘Fog.
Finally out on Skam are the instrumentals from both Shadow Huntaz albums, released as a double CD - awesome music from the Funckarma boys.
