"GET YOUR CSR. No, I’m not talking about your company’s ECA, I’m talking about the band who call themselves Chicken Shack Revival, a foursome fronted by Louis Lam, who like to churn out the blues – and they promise not make it boring with overlong over-the-top self-gratifying solos et al. Anyway, they’ll be doing a gig featuring, in their words, “3 sets of vintage ‘50s and ‘60s blues, rock and roll, early jazz, funk and a whole barrel of laughs from the band”. Well, what’s the worst that can happen, right? : )" - Chris Toh, Today newspaper, March 18, 2010
