Stripchords + Bad Detectives

Just been to pick up the gear from the pub. Last nights gig was great fun. Despite tough competition from two of the Stranglers there was a good crowd at the Griffin and they were treated to a unique entertainment.
The Stripchords mission statement is "tits "n" twang" and that was duly delivered - they served up some crisp retro sounding instrumentals whilst projecting some vintage pulchritude for the audiences delectation. This is just the stuff for the festival, entertaining, barrier breaking, audio visual meltdown. Tasty and tastefully tasteless. Well i know what i mean.
With a new album due out in a matter of days, alongside some old faves, the Bad Detectives previewed some of the tracks from the new disc. Bubble Car, Double Neck Guitar , Who Cut Your Hair and Rattlesnake Oil to name but many. The crowd was up for it and the show was over all too quickly. Apologies for the lack of an encore but there was a strict curfew on the music as the neighbours are revolting. Does that sound right?
Thanks to the Griffin, the Stripchords - for trekking all the way down from London, Craig for the sounds and everyone who dropped in.
