Mark (Brown Brogues)

SPB: Assuming that you're not playing a show, what is a typical Saturday night for Brown Brogues? What does it involve?

Mark: If we're flush with cash we would go out in Manchester and drink posh cocktails and prosecco. If not so flush we would drink cheap beers at each other houses then go to a gig.

So I guess what I’m saying is....typical Saturday night is getting drunk.

As the shit-kicker guitar rings out of the speakers, you can practically see someone beating their fist atop a jukebox or pool table in approval. It's … Read more

Triflin'
Stolen Body Records (2013)

The phrase "hanging out" can mean different things for different people. Some may use it to describe a night-in or a low-key stop at the neighborhood bar.
