(Post-Punk/New Wave/Dance) The Topman CTRL shows are quite a novel idea; Topman's music 'experts' pick a band once each month - this time Filthy Dukes - who then take turns to feature the music they love at a series of gigs across the country. This time it was Bournemouth's 60 Million Postcards' turn to play host to We Have Band, Clock Opera and the only band i actually managed to catch in the end, O Children.

Antes de escolher sobre a banda do dia (denominação escrota, uma vez que eu não posto todo dia e às vezes nem é sobre uma banda), eu costumo pesquisar no Google nacional só pela curiosidade de saber se alguém já gastou tinta falando do grupo.
