Favorite Side Projects #5 - Tin Machine

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43650) • Denver, Colorado 24 Nov 17

Musicians form side projects for many reasons, usually to satisfy a creative need to get music that does not fit their main band out there. Tin Machine's purpose was a bit different, however, and they are #5 in this countdown....
