Ep124: We Can't Believe It's Astreal!

IT'S FINALLY HERE: Our monumental mega-episode with ASTREAL!

As one of the key shoegaze bands here in the Lion City over the past three decades, Astreal has been going through thick and thin, releasing three albums and performing at every major gig you can think of.

Ginette Chittick (bass/vocals) and Muhammad Alkhatib (guitars) share the ups and downs of Astreal's musical journey: What was it like for Ginette to join just before the launch of their debut album, which the band had already recorded with another singer? How do they feel about the music scene today? And will it really take 10 years to produce another album?

Also: Remember to get your tickets for the BIGO 4-O: 40 Years of Counter Culture festival on 12-13 April, from noon onwards at The Blackbird. Tickets are selling fast so don't say we bojio!
