VGO

The hot and unforgiving Sahara wind decided to answer the calls of Nirankar Khalsa and the Sudani gang by paying us a visit! The result was a thermometer rise way above the 90’s. On this occasion the VGO went to play in the black curtain clad room of the BOMBA SUICIDA where the many fans, scattered throughout the floor, did little to alleviate the heat surge. The band was closing the night so it had a scarce 30 min. to show what it was worth. The music sounds just like the thick atmosphere in which it was played: densely textured and hot!
