Another short acoustic set for you now from 2010. It was a first visit for the band to Biz Sessions, somewhere they'd return to in 2013 (which you can check out using this link). I don't think that the full collection of 4 tracks was ever kept online at the official Biz Sessions site, with only Smokers remaining. But, as with most of the stuff here at the Archive, if it crossed my radar at the time then I'll probably have it safely stowed away somewhere.
Only three members of the band were present here, with Mr Lay being otherwise occupied. Russell took to the keys, with Tom and Chris adopting an acoustic guitar stance. For all Mr Urbanowicz dislikes the instrument he's playing here, he proves that he possesses an excellent ear for a catchy melody. This whole session was a really good one, providing us with first-rate versions of all the tracks chosen. There's videos to watch and mp3s to listen to, as well as a snapshot of the interview that appeared on the Biz website. Enjoy, folks ;)

If you ever wanted to know what life in an active, touring and performing band is really like then the second part of this interview will tell you all you need to know. Like The Passions sang in I'm in Love with a German Film Star, "it's a glamorous world....."
brought to you with lots and lots of lemming-love :) x
