First Concert Memories #18: The Struts with Leah Jones of The Struts Life

We kick off 2025 with First Concert Memories 18, the monthly sidecast from the hosts of The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast where we welcome a guest to talk about the first time they saw a particular band and how that night changed their life. This month, we welcome our fellow Pantheon Podcast host Leah Jones as she relives the fateful night in May of 2019 when she saw The Struts for the first time and how that show spawned a love affair with the band and their music. Hear Lead recount listening to the first 2 albums by The Struts back and forth, then realizing that she had to see them live. Despite a long drive and an early wake up call the next day, our intrepid Leah drove the many hours to catch the boys live at an afternoon radio show prior to the concert that evening. During that short performance, she captured them doing a song acoustically which may have never happened since and that only got her more psyched for the show. Leah tells us about that night, about the many subsequent roadtrips she's made to see her favorite band live and how it eventually led to her hosting The Struts Life as one of our Pantheon Podcast sisters. Keep going to see live music - it's the only way to KEEP ROCK ALIVE!!!
