Flashing Lights

QMF - Pelican Bar Stage, so eye catching, had to snap a picture.

The lovely moments when you are at a festival or a concert and there is some mad lighting going on, makes the experience just that bit more enjoyable! Some bands I know would need a hectic lighting crew -:

Here's two tunes that might help you get through the night:

When you're driving in your car or chilling in front seat of friend's car and you want a tune that suits that cruizing/chilling sort of vibe you are feeling. Here's two fresh songs that I love listening to in the car or even when i'm walking about, that will suit that vibe (hopefully). Enjoy!
