Back when the colour spectrum of Australian music held the likes of Purple Sneakers and Yves Klein Blue, Philadelphia Grand Jury - aka the Philly Jays - reigned supreme as one of the most exciting and energetic bands on the scene. It all imploded some years back, but serendipity and happenstance eventually drew the classic line-up of Simon "Berkfinger" Berckelman, Joel "MC Bad Genius" Beeson and Dan "Dan W. Sweat" Williams back together. Though the nostalgia was fun, it's now shifted back into the band being active again - their second album, Summer of Doom, arrived in 2015; and a third is on its way. Before taking on a sold-out crowd at Sydney's Brighton Up Bar, all three members of the Jury rallied together to detail their birth, death and resurrection. This may also be the first (and only) time that the township of Sussex Inlet is mentioned in the history of podcasting.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
