SQUEEZE - LIVE IN SINGAPORE
British new wave band Squeeze were formed in 1973. They have chalked up a string of hits, such as Cool For Cats, Up The Junction and Tempted, which was on the soundtrack of the romantic drama, Reality Bites (1994). Along the way, they have broken up and got back together more than once. The current line-up comprises founding member Glenn Tilbrook, long-standing touring members Stephen Large and Simon Hanson, and new additions, bassist Yolanda Charles and percussionist Steve Smith.
