generation to blues and other forms of American
roots music. Led by Reverend Peyton the band
also features his wife Breezy Peyton on
washboard and Max Senteney on drums.
So Delicious is a perfect Rev. Peyton’s Big
Damn Band album, with songs that speak from
the heart and capture the trio — whose sound
has been honed over 250 annual tour dates
during the last eight years — playing at their
peak. The charging, anthemic “Raise a Little
Hell,” also the set’s first video, lays out the
band’s live modus operandi, thriving on a
chugging beat and the Rev.’s resonator guitar
riffs and mantra-like singing. The song was
inspired by a show at a folk festival, where one
of the promoters — struck by the Big Damn
Band’s raucous, juke joint power — told the
Rev., “Y’all sure raise a lot of hell.”
MARTIAN SOCIAL CLUB
Hailing from Walsall this lovable and wildly
eclectic four piece play their own brand of
surreal psychedelic funk creating the effect of
an otherworldly discotheque experienced in a
dream state after unwisely ingesting too much
cheese shortly before bedtime....or something.
JO CARLEY AND THE OLD DRY SKULLS
Throw Old Time Roots music, Ska and Punk
into a backwoods still to make musical
moonshine! Fronted by Jo Carley and backed
by her song writing partner and husband Tim
Carley, they are joined by an assortment of
double bass players and other weirdos they
meet on the road.
The driving force is Tim’s One-man-band
set-up with Kick-drum, hi-hat and guitar while
Jo’s vocal delivery sounds like the leader of
Satan's own gospel choir. This is made even
more bewitching as she switches from fiddle to
mandolin to washboard. Possessing an energy
that elevates the audience, these guys sound
more like a stompin 5 piece band.
RGG have a pair of tickets to give
away for this gig at The Robin on
16th August. Just send an email to the address
below with ‘Peyton’ in the subject title to be in
with a chance of winning.
