This East London collective of shadowy ne’er do wells, led by Norwegian born Paul-Ronney Angel, have been touring their unique brand of Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’N’Stroll extensively since 2003. Raising the roof at headline shows
across UK, Ireland, USA, Europe & Scandinavia, they also regularly grace festival stages such as Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival, Electric Picnic, Edinburgh Festival...
With their lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps, some reckon they’re from the same stable of stallions as Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town swagger of The Clash and the hellbound blues that John Lee Hooker first dragged out of the swamp.
2008 saw them receive a personal invitation from The Poguesto open for them in the USA leading to them also opening for the whole of the UK/Ireland X-Mas 2008 tour – anyone who witnessed that tour can testify what a roaring success it was!
Featuring between 7 to 12 musicians playing guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone and even empty bottles & tie racks to build their unique brand of Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’n’Stroll…
One of the best-realised debut albums in recent years!
