Alternative Milestones Episode 108 – RIP Viola Beach
I’ve got an in Memoriam track and we’ll hear from the band Viola Beach as this week marked the 10th anniversary of the loss of the entire band and their manager in a road accident – I’ll tell you all about it.
On the brighter side, there are lots of milestone birthdays from the past week to celebrate, and we’ll hear from Joy Division, Rollins Band, Fiest, Incubus, The Killers, Duran Duran, Royksopp, The English Beat and The dB’s.
Otherwise lots of epic proggy goodness this week.
