This week saw yet another sold out show at Coulsdon's The Tuesday Night Music Club, featuring Bristol-based trio True Strays blending Alt-Americana, Blues Rock and Neo-Psychedelia into heartland anthems filled with soul and grit, as well as a pared back version of Caitlin Krisko and The Broadcast, with newlyweds Caitlin on vocals and Aaron Austin on guitar (pictured), so check out today not only John 'Mr. Rockrpix' Bull's Photo Gallery from the gig, but also watch today's True Strays 'Insecurity' Video Of The Day, their latest single taken from their 'Never Ending Sunset' sophomore release last October.
