Live Review | San Cisco + Gunns + Montaigne @ Metro Theatre Sydney – November 27, 2014

Review by Scott Singh

With fans filling the venue during the early stages of the night, you could see that many have seen the band perform live before as groups were discussing their favourite tracks together and singling out that one song that will make their night.
