Junk de storm the death star

Junk deluxe made a shock appearance at the north star night club supporting the novelty pogues tribute band 'the brogues'. Lead singer sven macalpine was told about the gig a week in advance but due to the demeaning and insignificant nature of the gig sven forgot about the booking until the day of the concert. However this wasnt an issue to junk de, who soon got on their rock boots and took the packed north star by storm with their classic anthems 'the drongs' and 'interzone'. After the gig singer sven was punished for his memory loss by being forced to work behind the bar.
