Stranded in Denver
As a new sun rises, I find to my surprise and eternal dismay that I wake in the baron open plains just outside of Denver. This mini city of pop-up hotels and highways offer a sort of offensive comfort as they invade the landscape. All the rotten eggs of budget air travel have no doubt congregated here many a time before me, but here I am, and I’m not gonna be leaving quickly. Yesterday was...

A Day Out On Canvey Island
Awriiight?!
Being the big Dr. Feelgood fans that we are we decided it was high time we took a trip down to Canvey Island. First we picked up a hardcase from a Canvey local who was also schooled by the guitar weilding maniac Wilko Johnson of aforementioned band. Lucky bloke! We had ourselves some local cuisine in the form of pie and mash then set off to see the sights.

Archive - Paris, Texas, Acton
One of the most influential and long lasting pieces of music for me is the masterpiece soundtrack by Ry Cooder for the film Paris Texas made in 1984. The music is based on Blind Willie Johnson’s “Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground” but it is taken in my opinion to a whole new level. This is one of the best examples I have seen of a film and its soundtrack complimenting...

Recently while on holiday in France, Sam picked up an absurd oddity which has become the butt of a lot of jokes and even found its way into our hearts as the band’s mascot.
Before we’d even seen it Sam had already named it Telula. The giant metal lobster can be seen gracing the stage at our recent gigs, and we now never leave home without her.
