Focusing on the soulful elements of TM Juke's production, Alice's latest venture is an absolute pleasure to the ears! The sound of Pot Of Gold certainly suits Alice's extraordinary voice and the more organic feel is in tune with TM Juke's more percussive Jack Baker Trio album of recent months. Sit back and enjoy!
TM Juke and the Jack Baker Trio present ‘Boto And The Second Liners’ , a carnival-spirited album moving from the ‘80s New York street party feel of junkyard, go-go music and old school inspired hip hop; through the funk and soul of Memphis and the Mardi Gras of New Orleans; and south to Latin America and Brazilian samba. The record boasts some great guest performers – most notably singers Alice Russell, Kathrin deBoer of Belleruche and Andreya Triana, and genre-bending Spanish singer Gecko Turner (Lovemonk).
The ‘Boto And The Second Liners’ project was born when TM Juke and Jack Baker were on tour with the Alice Russell band, passing their time in airports and vans by cataloguing songs that could be reworked in a South American stylee. The original plan was for an album of covers, but once the pair got to work, the covers were dropped in favour of original rhythmic masterpieces. Written and recorded in less than two months, the album was all played live – not a sample in sight – and nearly all the percussion and drums are single takes. The pair avoided ironing out too many creases and tried not to over-produce, and as a result the recordings have a rough and ready feel and that unique, palpable live energy

KING PORTER STOMP with TIN ROOTS @ THE BRUNSWICK, SAT DEC 12TH.
We're very happy indeed to have been invited back to play a Christmas show at the Brunswick. We're gonna be joined by our festival friends and wicked roots reggae groovers, Tin Roots, so expect a whole lotta skanking and stomping around with the odd mince pie chucked in.
We'll be fresh from our South West mini tour and it'll be the last chance to catch us play before we go into hibernation to record our new album at the beginning of the new year...we may even give you a sneaky taster of what's in store...it's gonna be fat and funky for sure. We're planning knocking 2009 on the head with a bang so please come down and experience us burning off all the calories we've got and lifting the roof in a proper stomping party stylee.
It's hopefully gonna be rammed so please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, and they're cheaper!
It's the end of our 23 date UK festival tour tommorow and there's nothing better to do in a 500 mile radius than to get down to middle farm to celebrate the apple harvest. Drink vast quantities of local cider, hang out with the farm creatures and listen to the best bands in the south east! It's £7.50 per day and well worth it!
