DDTK will inevitably be played this afternoon! Over 450 performances now and the band’s 5th most played song.

Coincidentally today, the 5th of July, is the 9th anniversary of the song’s first ever public performance at the 250 capacity Schubas Tavern in Chicago.

Here’s the video of it😁

The 29th of June 2018. Who went to this one? Who’s going to the Homecoming headline show next week?😁

12 years ago today on the 28th of June 2014

It was 4 years ago today on the 20th of June 2022 that Wolf Alice played Red Rocks in Colorado for the second time. This time it was a support slot for Bleachers. If they ever headline there I will go!

On the 3rd of June 2012 Wolf Alice, then Ellie, Joff, Sadie and James DC were postered to be the headline act on a packed programme at the Notting Hill Arts Club.

In the end they swapped with Shields as they didn’t think they were good enough at that point. A member of the Wolf Alice Fans Facebook group was there. He says Shields were a bit tighter. And louder.

With the band’s ’Homecoming’ headline slot at Finsbury Park on the horizon let’s not forget the journey the band has been on for so long. 13 years ago today on the 31st of May 2013 Wolf Alice played The Victoria pub in Birmingham. Many complained about the acoustics so the management put traps down.

And in a nutshell that is how my book A Penny For Your Truth - A Fan History of Wolf Alice will play out. The fans view of the band’s journey from pubs to arenas. If you want to be part of the story drop me a chat on here and I’ll give you details on what to do😁

I was drifting through old posts on Reddit the other day and came upon this Q&A with the band members from around the time of VOAL. Here’s an interesting exchange! Who would like to hear this! And what other Nirvana songs do you think the whole band could cover?
