Good news from one of the most underrated bands of all time, yes, of all time! JAMES is a band, not a man…well, unless you know someone named James, then he is also most likely a man, but this JAMES is a band, and a rather good one too…
Sadly for them, they are best known in the U.S. as that band that sings “Laid”…

Now, one song will not fill a stadium like that a decade after it’s release, so there must be something more, no? However, their anti-stardom is a blessing for those of us over here, as we get to see this great band in much smaller, more intimate & better sounding venues! Look for yours below and do yourself a favor and go…
