The Boo Radleys: Zeleste 2, Barcelona
Johnny Cigarettes, NME, May 1995
IT IS 4.42 AM. Martin Carr and Bob Cieka of the Boo Radleys are, um, "relaxing" at the Hotel Sol in Barcelona after a suitably exuberant show earlier this "evening". They've just got back from the New York nightclub, the other side of several jugs of Sangria, several score bottle beers, champagne, Jack Daniels and probably meths for all they know.
