I have no idea how we got so lucky to have St. Louis added on this tour, because usually bands this profound hit the bigger cities near us but pass us by.

You can never second guess The Membranes. The one main stay is of course John Robb, and he was joined by his long-standing guitarist Peter Byrchmore. Mike Simkins continued his stint on drums and the wonderful, inspired addition of Amelia Chain brought a different vibe to the band
