ZANE LOWE INTERVIEW

Jimi gave a short interview for the Zane Lowe show Tuesday past (March 10th). Jimi talks about a track that the band are dropping for a few shows, that they have never dropped before. We now know that to be The Cedar Room. Here’s hoping the track comes back for the main tour!

Here is another picture from the Mark Radcliffe session. To answer a few who asked, yes I will upload the other two tracks that were performed. Later in April, once the album is out there.
