    I would absolutely LOVE to see them live. It's such a shame they never play the UK. When they did the Aurora Gory Alice anniversary sets recently, I nearly bought tickets for Chicago, but it would be £1685 for flights as it was 2 weeks before the gig, and then a 300 mile trip between the airport & the place, but I admit, I came SO close, I actually nearly bought them. Kay sounds incredible, their playing is tight & the sound mix on this is off the wall, just an absolute masterclass. 🔥🤘

      My dad is 68 and he’s fighting cancer now, i get my taste in music from him, i love all those late 60s and 70s bands because of him, bands like Cream Sabbath Zeppelin and all the rest. Also he saw Pink Floyd live in Paris during the Animals tour coz he was forced to move there to study because of the civil war here.
      My fav Seattle band is Soundgarden then AIC, my all time favorite band is Tool and i’m gonna see them live for the first time on June 10th in Vienna.

    Kay is amazing. I've been a fan of LTC forever, and was extremely fortunate enough to meet her for a few moments. She was gracious, appreciative, and a true professional. Even though I've been a guest DJ on WBCN 104.1 "The Rock of Boston," she's the only person over whom I totally lost my cool and geeked out. BB King? Cool. Billy Corrigan? Cool. Kay Hanley? Lost my cool.
