The Listening Club - 29th September 2019

Greetings folks.

Wet, wet, wet. What a shit name for a band, eh? Highly appropriate right now though, as it continues pissing down for the nth day. Still, as the inside of the house is filled with the sound of random Sunday music and the smell of bubbling cassoulet, outside can do what it bloody well likes, we'll just sit in the window with a tasty drink and watch the soggy world go by...

Last week in #LC-land, @brainspiritus was getting us down and bluesy with their pick of  "Mad Dog Blues" by The Hamburg Blues Band, which did a fine job of turning our corner of twitter into a jumping dive bar. Thanks to them for the pick  and for sailing the frisb back across the channel where @emmaprice is waiting with this to say...

"Hello from a rather soggy south London where autumn is in full effect. When catching the frisbaton last week I (for a change) immediately knew who I wanted to pick. Normally the selection process is a matter of some angst in Emma world as I try and find something that will intrigue, excite and potentially amuse people.

I discovered this artist after seeing one of the musicians from this band in one of his other projects and and being absolutely blown away by the sheer vitality and life of their live performance. Definitely one of my live gig experiences of the year. The album is new to me as is their back catalogue but hopefully it will be the gateway drug to stumbling across them live for some of you.

Drinking club is something suitable for a darkened basement club where masters have been honing their craft since time immemorial."
