'Countrier Than Thou’ @ The Lock Tavern
Country•Americana•Rock ’n’ Roll




Live acts:
Rattleshack:
From the deepest, darkest swamplands of the Fen lands comes a crazy, five-piece Hell-Billy, Grunge-Country Band with Punk-Rock Attitude … These guys n gals are the nearest a UK band could possibly get to authentic Americana both in music and attitude as they live in the country, work in the country, play in the country; drive pick-up trucks, eat what they catch and if it’s broke they’ll mend it themselves. They even turn up to gigs in a huge American truck so it’s no surprise that when it comes to music they play Country in the Outlaw tradition ie Country with attitude having been brought up on a diet of The Sex pistols, Black Sabbath, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams… It’s also not surprising then, that their particular take on Americana has a dirty, edgy twist – think Johnny Clash therefore!

Oh Gunquit!:
The hottest, London property worth viewing at the moment and you won’t find any Cowboy estate agents in tow!…
… These guys n gals have been variously described as Blitz Bop, Exotica, authentic Garage Punk, Rumble-Surf-Trash and much more that doesn’t really do them justice… Here at ‘Bonanza & Son’ we like to think of them as Country’s extended Family under the influence of the most intoxicating elements of seven decades of Rock ’n Roll. If Tarantino still had his finger on the pulse he wouldn’t hesitate to get these guys to perform the complete soundtrack of his next movie… Think Cramps, Link Wray, The Slits, Gun Club, Riot Grrrl Versus Girl Power, Eddy Cochran, B52’s, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Bo Diddley etc…

This is a band who cite influences and interests as 'road trips to nowhere, using Sharpies inappropriately, revenge, Exotic Bird Calls, Kiss Cider, Twisting Championships, Sambrooks Ale, Razor Totin Jim, Flaggelation, Exotica, Voodoo, Bitches Brew, Abenaki Indians, Flashing, Making Outfits, Gaffa Tape and tenacity amongst many other things… You better get ready for a world of intrigue and adventure… Oh and be warned, they ‘Flip the top UP!

+ Guest DJ…
’Rob ‘Space-Hips' Morgan:
Finger on the pulse music afficionado and our favourite blogger as well as one half of ace Podcasters ‘If There Is Hell Below We’re All Gonna Go’ and long-running, club-night promoter/DJ at ‘Cassette Player’, Rob ’Space-Hips’ Morgan, brings his trusty box of dusty vinyl and truly, Cosmic, American Music to this months ‘Countrier Than Thou’…
… What you need to remember folks is this is a Renaissance man who made it his New Years Resolution to ‘Buy more vinyl, go to more gigs and drink more beer’… We’ll do our best to match him record for record, gig for gig and beer for beer… A worthy cause we think and definitely Country-Rockin’!
