Astronomy Class & Mista Savona @ the Annandale Hotel, 26 May



PS: This was a brilliant gig with an almost embaressing amount of talent. Great performances all round - from Mista Savona, Vida Sunshine and the band to Astronomy Class and their guests. And a fantastic vibe to boot. Definately see these acts if you can and pick up their material on Elefant Traks.
