Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Welcome to the latest newsletter where we delve back into our powerpop heritage and rediscover Big Star! Last week we looked back at how Squire decided on the band name name, and how it was as much a product of local connections, named after the shop 'Squires', that Squire rehearsed above, before discovering the name had serious historic connections to modernism! Similarly, Big Star's name is as much a product of their Memphis roots, and was also named after a shop, over the road from where they recorded!

Since last year's "Get Smart" tour, we've included many more songs from that album, starting our live set with "Standing in the Rain."
