My review:
Johnny Hunter is seeking absolution, on behalf of all of us, for the terminal millennialism of the past decade. Watching the ‘friends and flavours’ of the music scene come and go, Johnny Hunter are the last men standing from the numerous bands, projects and line-ups that were obviously not built to last (like them).
This band could withstand a nuclear blast, and still keep playing! It was so good to see how much they’d done musically since I saw them last. And to say I’m proud of (and love) you guys is an understatement. When I saw this gig was happening I was super excited and really wanted to make sure I see you again at the iconic Lansdowne Hotel, therefore I cancelled other bookings to cover this gig. You’re killing it boys. Awesome stuff. Get your freaking arses on a plane overseas and show the world how good you are !!!!!!!!!!!!!
