After recently reviewing Mel Parsons’ new album, ‘Slow Burn’ I was super keen to see her on stage again. How would these songs work live?

Pop Will Eat Itself, Wellington NZ, 2022

England’s finest genre-blenders Pop Will Eat Itself (aka PWEI aka Poppies aka 80’s grebos) have returned. The last time I saw them I was still at Uni. That was before the glaciers started melting! Yep, for me it has been a long time between sips of the soda pop. I loved their wit and sarcasm, the way they spliced irony, hard-core and retro together and shook up the old tropes of the music industry templates. So I was keen to see if my teenage pop heroes could still live up to the legend I’d build in my own headphones.
