After surfacing in 2013 with their debut EP, “Wasters & Wannabes”, The Kubricks soon became one of the must-see ska bands of this generation. Tracks from their debut release were supported by Huey Morgan (6Music) and Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing – 6Music), and The Specials’ bassist, Horace Panter, championed the band, claiming, “I can hear Madness, The Ruts, Squeeze and The Clash in there…” The timing was perfect, and coincided with a new interest in ska music, as many of UK’s festivals began dedicating entire stages to the genre. Riding on the back of this wave, the band soon found themselves supporting legends such UB40, Bad Manners and The Toasters, in addition to sharing the stage with The Skints, Buster Shuffle and Bombskare.

The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album "Too Bad Jim" by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. It all initially started as a casual collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians, Little Victor and Son Jack Jr. and they shortly after rounded out the trio with the one and only Nick Simonon (brother of Paul Simonon of The Clash) on drums and things really started cookin! Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.

Popscene - What better name for a beautiful tribute to Blurback in 1995 the real thing infamously played a Dublin Castle 'secret' gig at the height of post Parklife Blurmania. And what a night it was. I recall Damon's battered organ hanging off the edge of the cramped stage. Anyway, here's Popscene to help you relive that sadly barely documented event.

Tonight, support care of Headcase - full on, frantic punky indie with a suitably nutty frontman and superb, committed performances all round.

The Gutter Brothers emerged in the late 1980's as a busking band based in London, regulars on the Covent Garden street scene. They released their first album 'Isometric Boogie' in 1988, and TV appearances followed on BBC's Jukebox Jury, MTV Europe, Jools Holland's Happening, and ITV's Night Network and First Exposure. The band toured constantly in the UK, Europe and the US from 1989 to 1993, sharing stages with the likes of Dr Feelgood, Desmond Dekker, Albert Lee, Steve Harley, Debbie Harry and Jools Holland. In 1991 they composed and recorded the theme and incidental music for the Central TV comedy drama Gone To The Dogs starring Jim Broadbent, Alison Steadman and Harry Enfield. Their second album Gone To The Dogs, consisting of songs written for and inspired by the TV show, was released around the same time the series aired. Later that same year they composed and recorded the soundtrack music to 'Fools & Horses' Christmas special Miami Twice. Their Failsafe EP was released featuring their cover of The Lovin Spoonful song Summer In The City which had been used as the title song. In early 1993 a live album Already Dead was released, and the band split later that year when lead singer Tony returned to live in his native New Orleans. The original line-up of Tony Green (vocals), Chris Cawte (guitar), Steve Turner (bass) and Jeff Walker (drums) has reunited for a handful of UK shows on a roughly annual basis since 2003 following the death of founding member Dennis Johnson (tea-chest bass and lyrics). In 2008 the band released 'El Krusho', an album dedicated to Dennis' memory which featured new songs composed using remaining lyrics written by him. A new recording of previously unreleased songs,, Mother Primeval' followed in 2014. The Gutter Brothers, joined on stage by their longstanding friend and producer Jez Coad (formerly guitarist for The Surfing Brides and Jim Kerr of Simple Minds), return to celebrate almost 40 years of swampy rock 'n' roll history with a country style gumbo of great tunes, and a pinch of metal to taste.
