One just for fans of THE JAM!

Here's Brooooce last night. The man still got all the moves - and one hell of a bass player.

Great evening watching SLF, finished off by shaking hands with Bruce and Jake Burns.

BTW, if you ever get a chance to see Throw Rag, do it (one of the supports last night. California band with a Brit on manic washboard and spoons - favourite trick: collecting a spoonful of underarm sweat and flicking at the crowd.)

 

[Tommy Cook reporting]

The great thing is that the man is clearly still loving it! He ain't in it for the cash but has a real passion for the music - if only others felt the same.

 

[Vlad the Impala]

Absolutely right.

Last night the whole band were playing with very old or borrowed guitars as American Airlines had lost their regulars. They didn't care - no prima donna tantrums, just got on with it - the reason, as you said, was because they love what they do.

Legend.

Not seen Stiff Little Fingers, any idea where they are playing in the near future?

If Throw Rag come over, go and see them.

"Captain Sean-Doe (lead vocals), Jacko (washboard / trumpet / vocals), Dino (lead guitar / vocals), King Taco Pearl (guitar), Chango Von Streicher (drums), Franco Fontana (bass)

"Hailing from the Salton Sea in California and purveyors of the self-coined sound of "sailor rock," Throw Rag developed their own deranged hybrid of hardcore/punk/rock, voodoo swamp boogie and nightmare roots-folk music. The psycho carny they create in live shows is seductive, terrifying and pure fun. The six-piece (including a washboard/trumpet player) doesn't cut corners when it comes to loud guitars and even louder rock and roll demonics. Their live show is virtually a dual attack of lead singer Captain Sean Doe and the maniacal Jacko on washboard. The mesmerizing derangement of watching their cheap whiskey Satan and washboard perversion leaves no one unscathed."

But take an umbrella unless you have a thing about sweaty armpits.
