Pete's Balearic summer reggae album Island Time is out now on One Note Records - available from all reputable digital music retailers! Here's another cheeky sampler track: Loverdub Time, featuring Brian J.
Thanks to those of you who came out to see us at the House of Blues in Chicago this weekend. Sorry to those of you who missed it. We’re heading over to the New York area later this week to play in Port Chester, Fairfield and Manhattan, before flying West again to Denver. Hope it’s warmer than Chicago.
Our first show of the tour, and our first ever in Saint Louis tonight at the Old Rock House. (Thought we’d been here once before but realised we were thinking of Louisville KY, oops). We’re expecting to be buzzing about this place when we leave for Chicago tomorrow, like silly British bumble bees. Buzz, buzz, buzz. What a brilliant giant arch they have!
Phew! We just survived our 7th consecutive Jazzfest in New Orleans. The next trip, in a couple of weeks, includes our 10th anniversary gig at Chicago House of Blues on June 7th. Cali-based graphic design student and NMS fan Jesus Cueva designed this unofficial poster for that show, which we love! We’re also hitting some new (to us) places on this run: Saint Louis MO, Port Chester NY, and Fairfield CT, as well as making the annual micro-voyage on our favourite little boat in Manhattan for The Rocks Off River Cruise. On June 13th we’re playing a benefit gig in Denver for the American Transplant Foundation, followed by a late show at our favourite Denver venue, Cervantes. Then we head into the mountains for Beanstalk Festival. That’s it for now, thankyou bye.
This Saturday May 10th from 6-9pm UK time BBC6Music will broadcast our live session and interview on the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show - the only BBC radio show that consistently supports our kind of music. If you miss the broadcast, the programme will be available online for a further 7 days by clicking this link
We will be playing several live-in-studio versions of tunes from the new album “Therapy” and talking to Craig about Eddie’s crazy life on the road in USA.
After a 3-month hiatus, we reunited last week for two great little UK gigs, applied for (and received!) another year’s US visas, and just finished shooting a music video for “Whistle Song” directed by The Brett Domino Trio.
Next up: we’re popping over to BBC Media City in Manchester to record a live session for The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show. We’ll be chatting to Craig and playing some tunes from the new album, “Therapy”. The session will be broadcast on BBC Radio6Music on Saturday May 10th. Hopefully the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida has decent wifi coverage, so we can stream the show in our cabin while we get ready to headline the Purple Hatters Ball later that evening.
Our next gig is at iFest in Houston Texas on Saturday April 26th, followed by our usual 2-night late-night shenanigans at The House of Blues in New Orleans on May 2nd & 3rd.
