Live Review : Jurassic 5 at Newcastle Panthers – March 26, 2015

Review by David Jackson
Jurassic 5 at Newcastle Panthers

DJ Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist showed the crowd a new concept of becoming portable from behind the confines of their turntables.

Some great local additions including Lincoln Le Fevre, Isaac Graham, Dan Cribb and Luke Carlino round out the bills. Details below…
