2002
Singer Moon Trent dropped by Studio 105 at the Sony Metreon and was lucky enough to score an interview from JAKE who was charming and played "Don't Look Back", making Brown-Star the last and happiest band featured from that location which also saw the likes of DJ Shadow, Coldplay and others!... Thanks JAKE!
