The Rookies - Feed The Fire

Mon 20 Mar 2023 to Sun 26 Mar 2023
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Feed The Fire by The Rookies. Born in the spring of 2014 on the forgotten end of Brunswick Street in a dimly lit room full of sweat and beer at The Rooks Return, The Rookies started as a quiet set of background jazz for punters while they imbibed their cocktails. This quickly devolved into an uninhibited, drunken dance party reminiscent of a time almost forgotten.
