Absolutely blown away by Daptones' garage band last night at The Shacklewell Arms. Went with Mrs Treeboy & a mate and we all agreed that was the best thing we have seen in a very long time. Forget your paisley shirted, deerstalker-wearing, look the part types, THIS is the real deal IMO. Absolutely blew the roof off the place. One more UK gig tonight in Brighton, then they go back to New York. Sorely tempted to go tonight too, but I'm too old for a late night followed by a hard day, then a big drive down to the coast. Not too old to recognise a top drawer live act when I see one though
If you are in that neck of the woods and are remotely interested in garage/psych, get down to The Hope & Ruin in Brighton, you'll thank me afterwards.
