Hurrah! We took in Island Bar, a random Chinese restaurant and headed home via a quick stop-off at the Sunflower Lounge.

The theme for today has been memories, and the Sunflower always provides those. I walked in to Time for Heroes by the Libertines, and the tunes kept on coming. Then we bumped into Josh from Tantrums, which brought back lots of Oxjam Brum memories from October! For the uninitiated, I was part of the Oxjam Brum team last year at which Tantrums headlined along with Dinosaur Pile-Up.

Tantrums are supporting CasioKids on 27th May at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath – I suggest all those reading this should buy a ticket NOW as it’s just a fiver – an absolute steal for two awesome bands. See you there :)

Anyway here’s a kick-ass song from Tantrums (great song, not so sure about the fan video!):
