E147 The Itch On Tour: Badflower, Des Rocs, & Blood Red Shoes
This week, we're scratching the Itch to tread familiar territory! We saw Badflower and past Itch guest Des Rocs at Red Flag, which may as well be the official venue of The Itch. Though we've discussed the artists and the venue before, we've learned that every experience is unique, and this one was definitely worth discussing! We hope you enjoy. And apologies to Blood Red Shoes, for reasons you'll learn within the episode.
