Big name week here, as you’ll see from some of the new arrivals on the playlist below. A couple of things worth flagging, though: the second Diskjokke album, which should work for those of you enamoured with Lindstrom and Prins Thomas; and one last Jack Rose EP, a rowdy electric session with a No Neck Blues Band spin-off. I’ll do the business on these soon.
In the meantime, a good forthcoming Club Uncut show we’ve just hooked up: The Strange Boys on June 24. Follow the link for full details of that and May’s Endless Boogie night. Hopefully we’ll see some of you down for that.
