It’s crazy to think that, back in the day, Soul Asylum played Brixton Academy off the back of their 1992 breakthrough album ‘Grave Dancers Union’ (and a certain hit single), but Dave never seemed entirely at ease with the trappings of fame, and thus it seems appropriate that they’re playing these two intimate shows (they played Manchester last night) to kick off a European tour.Continue Reading
