Watch the acceptance speech by Lynval and Jerry and Terry at the Mojo Awards:
About the Stiff Upper Lips:
The rocking horns and rhythm of Stiff Upper Lips waft
a bit of Jamaican breeze into the rainy, chilly clime
of Seattle. Led by Lynval Golding, veteran of the UK’s
legendary The Specials, impeccably dressed Stiff Upper
Lips disregard the hissing of grungy bounders and
deliver a hefty helping of Saucy Brit beat.
Seattle scenesters will recognize familiar fixtures
on the stand, such as Saxophonist Andrew Sodt,
currently of Lushy and formerly of Tiny Hat Orchestra
and his counterpart on the sax, noted jazz musician
and Wayward Shamans alum Craig Flory. No caravan of
Rockers would be full-length without a trombone and
John Sampson fills the two toned shoes of this
role, while bassist Kirk Larsen and drummer Mike
Daugherty (Casey McGill’s Blue 4 Trio and The Yes Yes
Boys) complete this most rude of musical aggregations.
Don’t forget your dancing shoes, and sing along if the spirit moves you –
Stiff Upper Lips are coming to you.
Keep muddling through...
