Garbage bring 20 Years Queer to Brixton Academy - in photos
Shirley Manson and co are an utter triumph in London
8 November, 2015: Garbage bring their 20 Years Queer anniversary to London for an epic and triumphant celebration. Check out our beautiful photos from the show here.
"We've been playing this venue for 20 years," frontwoman Shirley Manson tells the howling crowd. "I need to go somewhere really weird, I need some underpants - I've got a wind machine, my family are here but no pants on. This never fucking happens to Beyonce."
But we wouldn't have it any other way. With passion, poetry and a language all of their own, only Garbage could inspire a reaction like this from their religiously dedicated following. They mean everything, to all of us.
