Itchy Grumble
A Post Punk Fairy Tale.
Edinburgh’s creepy stunners get to work…
Itchy Grumble is a short stump of a man but with no equal ...immortal. His immortality was sealed the day he drank the tears of witch.
Down on the docks Itchy found a place he could work undetected. One day the foreman set Itchy a task that would fog the lines between witchcraft and engineering. He was asked to revolve a lighthouse on the Firth of Forth to reveal the ghostly replicate underneath.
Paul Vickers and The Leg is a reckless amalgam of the lyrical maverick behind John Peel favourites Dawn of the Replicants and Dan Mutch’s equally single-minded trio, featuring Pete Harvey (cello) and Alun Thomas (drums).
Following four singles and an album, ‘Tropical Favourites’, Itchy Grumble recorded on the isle of tiree marks a new concept in the band’s brilliant career.

The new songs are awesome!
I still don't have Tropical Favourites but it's just a question of time. I hope this new album coming will bring some tour dates in France (like... Paris, for example) that would be great!
