Regarded as pioneers for their fusion of samples and loops with live guitars in the early nineties, Pop Will Eat Itself returned to Perth for the first time since 2018 to take those brave enough to venture out on a school night down memory lane and back to halcyon days of indie discos and the like.

Back into central Auckland on a Wednesday night to what is rapidly becoming my most favoured venue before this year I came to Tuning Fork sparingly, yet in 2022 I have already lost count of how many amazing artists I have seen here.

England's finest genre-blenders Pop Will Eat Itself (aka PWEI aka Poppies aka 80's grebos) have returned. The last time I saw them I was still at Uni.
