NEW SONG: Black Mekon – Deadman Afterthought Blues

 

Een combinatie lompe reverb-garage en hard punk blues hebben we vandaag in de vorm van Black Mekon. Over de band zegt de band zelf:

These two vicious bastards (Black Mekon and his brother Black Mekon) were named after the legendary Black Mekong, illegitimate children of prostitutes visited by missionary preachers, abandoned to fend for themselves on the banks of The Mekong River. Raised in a whorehouse by drunk dockworkers in a town called Christ’s Gasoline, they were born with only one arm between them and grew up selling sand to sailors and wrestling vermin and wives for the amusement of the locals. The rest of their upbringing is steeped in myth and told mostly in sea shanties, according to legend they escaped on a raft made of old Cramps and Doo Rag 45s using John Lee Hooker and Pussy Galore vinyl to paddle themselves to more familiar shores.

 

Stolen Bible 2
Goed, tot zover de info over deze geflipte en mysterieuze Engelsen die laatst het album ‘Stolen Bible 2‘. Het in fuzz gefrituurde Deadman Afterthought Blues is een knaller van de bovenste plank en windt er, binnen de nog geen twee minuten die het duurt, vooral geen doekjes om. Check it out for yourself!
