Joe Gideon & The Shark "DOL" directed by the Archie Bronson Outfit
Gideon plucks six strings, dreams stories and sings. Kid sister Viva, a.k.a. 'The Shark', plonks, stomps and honks. Formerly members of Bikini Atoll, they released two albums on Bella Union, second album recorded by geeky genius Steve Albini. Then, they formed a family band and spent summer 06' getting drunk in a barn writing songs on their 8 track recorder. It's been two years now and in this time they've been invited to play with great bands and musicians around europe; Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Archie Bronson Outfit, The Duke Spirit, Scout Niblett, Michael Gira to name but a few. Their tales are beginning and their tails are wagging....
Here's what Drowned In Sound has to say about them,
'How to describe London-based duo Joe Gideon & The Shark without you being in the same room as me… it’s tough, for sure. Without waving hands and pulling shapes it’s tough to convey what this music can – and usually does – do to a body exposed to it; it’s rough, ragged, blues in its veins. It’s dark, atmospheric, oddball and surreal; it’s on your doorstep and in your airspace, alien yet talking the same language about the same ol’ trials and tribulations of a life lived. Uppers and downers: expected and accepted...'
Hey! thanks for the friendship lads! We found you thanks to the jim jones revue blog, and we love it! Have a look at our page, and leave us a comment if you like! keep up the good sounds, xx
your album sends shudders through my soul and your end of the road gig was amazing! Anything you love that much is one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. I guess I am in a bad place right now and that song helps so much.
Seen you guys in Belfast on Friday night, was so great! Hope yous come back! Was able to get your album after searching for ages so I'm happy. Joe signed my dads cd! Great show
Yesterday was the best I've seen you guys, thanks for a wonderful set! Civilisation with Arp blew me away, and what a lovely festival it was (JG&TS were the weekend's highlight for a number of fellow campers).
