You pick up some interesting passengers as driver of a pop express…. and here are some new releases from former interviewees
The Bookhouse Boys
We love the Bookhouse Boys and they release the final single “Shoot You Down” from their magnificent eponymous debut album. It’s a song which crackles with sexual tension and sees singers Paul Van Oestren And Catherine Turner locked in a kind of love/hate lyrical tango, prowling the dance floor spitting out lyrics such as ““I give up the world for you/Now I open my doors to you/I’ll take off your skirt for you/And bury my dirt in you”. It’s sexy as f**k and is available on blood red vinyl or from I-tunes here

Flamboyant Bella
FB release their first single , proper, “Get A Reaction” on 21st September 2009 , a bubbly, synth driven floor filler, that finds the band getting funkier than Huggy Bear doing the funky chicken to Funkadelic at the Funky Buddha. It picks you up by your lapels and propels you around the dancefloor at breakneck speed and then lets go leaving you crumpled in the corner, broken and breathless, ….here’s the video..

Here’s a new live song “Cry, Cry, Cry ” by the fab Nicole Atkins which we are featuring for no other reason than we want her to come over to England.

Brilliant work, good sir!
Yes – Nicole is back – with a new band and new songs.
And she’s even more amazing than before.
Cherish what the New Jersey-to-Brooklyn circuit has to offer.
😉
I therefore insist she takes an overnight train to Liverpool, England, Liverpool, UK, Europe, Liverpool …erm Britain.
Thanks for sharing
