Starry ayes - eventually

Sometimes, in the live environment, it can take a while for a band to truly warm up. That was very much the case with psych/Krautrockers Mugstar at the Moon at the tail end of last month - but once what I think was a slimmed-down line-up got going, they really did get going. I could've happily listened to the final 15 minutes all night.

Huge credit to the Moon for putting on high-calibre free gigs on a Friday night - with the headliners perfectly timed for anyone spilling out of a show at Clwb Ifor Bach across the street. They're making supporting the local live music scene about as easy as it could possibly be - and serving up some decent, reasonably priced beer in the process.
