DIG THIS! GOLDEN BLOOM & THIEVING IRONS

kings of the castle

Two men enter the armory, adopt cutesy nicknames, sing some acoustic sets, celebrate some birthdays (old Bloomy himself, Shawn Fogel and Mister Crazymusicks Michael J. Epstein, both of whom suspect nothing) … two men leave, arm in arm, having just had the most delightful evening. What? You were expecting some sort of duel? Well, we don’t know how you do things over in post-apocalyptic Australia, but here in the ‘ville, a singer-songwriter Thunderdome’s a pretty civilized affair. Heck, there’s cake. But shhh, that’s a surprise.
