Easy Life played two huge, career-defining gigs at the start of the week (November 16 and 17) at Brixton Academy. The iconic south London venue was jam-packed with excitable fans of the genre-blurring quintet, who released their stellar debut album, ‘Life’s A Beach’, in May. There was certainly a celebratory atmosphere in the air – here are 10 glorious snaps to prove it.
Heeeeere’s Murray!
