Underfoot

The first time I saw The Big Muffs was in July 2009; I'd skipped out on Bluesfest to see a bill with The Zebrassieres, Babblegoons and Hellbros. The Big Muffs were the only band of which I knew nothing, and it seemed like they were keeping a low profile both before and after this show. Come 2010 it seemed they were playing out a bit more and I was glad to catch them again at Zaphod's on yet another eclectic bill, this time with Those Gulls and Street Meat.
