Brainwaves – March 30, 2021 – Pass the Passover

Written by on 29/03/2021

It’s the Brainwaves annual Passover special, in honor of this week’s Jewish holiday. Music to celebrate freedom from slavery, whether that’s songs about Egypt, Pharaohs, plagues (no, not the current one) or wandering in the desert. Plus a little Moses thrown in for good measure. From bands you love like Oingo Boingo, Sioux and the Banshees, Prince, Neko Case, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, Belle and Sebastian, the Cure and more. This is a show you don’t want to pass over.
