Klingon band, bomwI’pu’One of the best things that can happen to your band – original or cover – is to gain devoted fans. They’re there at every gig, they are your best form of word-of-mouth promotion, and they make you feel like the rock star you are. But there’s a downside to them, sometimes right at the start. Sometimes that manifests itself before you’ve ever met… and they become KLINGONS!

Listen to Paul and Dave talk through all of this, and how they deal with it. Press play, sit back, and enjoy!
