album ‘Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues
Bop’N’Stroll’, on Gypsy Hotel Records. The
album scored top reviews in all the major music
magazines and made ‘Albums of the Year’ lists
in Classic Rock and Big Cheese magazines. This
was backed with lots of live shows and touring
including headlining East London’s prestigious
and beautiful Hackney Empire and joining the
legendary New York Dolls on their UK tour.
Second album ‘In Black’N’Red’, was released to
more positive acclaim and hullaballoo from the
media in 2011. A collection of rare tracks and
early EP sides called ‘Rare Gumbo’ was released
to coincide with the bands sell-out 10th
anniversary show at London’s historic
Leicester Square theatre in June 2013. This was
followed late the same year by a double A-sided
single ‘Help Me Jesus / Heroin (Has Put My
Brothers In The Ground) which featured
legendary British guitarist Wilko Johnson.
“Drawing deep from a dirty well where
Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Dick Dale
are enjoying a burlesque all-nighter
with Ennio Morricone.”
— CLASSIC ROCK
“The band veers into mariachi-influenced
blues, whiskey-soaked country rags and
punkabilly-style rave-ups.”
