Armed with a collection of vintage instruments and an off-beat outlook, Cheapskate crafts a special brand of retro psychedelic beat music that'll have you dancing around your living room in no time.
Bursting with witty, inventive, beautifully crafted Bluenote songs in a Scouse accent that bring a smile to the face and a lift to the heart. It reminds a little of the great Alan Price and Georgie Fame, with its utterly groovy hepcat feel that somehow has you thinking of British crime caper Gangster no.1.
If the sound production is a little raw in places, it somehow adds to the authentic feel, resulting in something both evocative and interesting. Crammed full of Cheapskate’s hugely likeable exuberant Nu-Scouse merriment, your toes will be tapping from the word go.
