RELEASE DATE - Aug 2005
‘21st
Century Liverpool Underground’ is an album of classic
cuts by three influential bands that have spearheaded what
has been called ' the new wave '/ 'cosmic scouse'- each of
whom are important in their own right. First up are The Big
Kids formed and fronted by the legendary Edgar Jones ( Formerly
known as Edgar Summertyme of The Stairs ) and including Shaun & Russell
(now in The Zutons) and Howie Payne( now the leading light
in The Stands). This all star band were a growling blues/soul
sensation. Next Tramp Attack featuring the future singer/songwriter
of The Zutons, Dave Mc Cabe ( He sings lead on 2 tracks written
by himself, 'Broken Man' & ' Swine'). Liverpool's own inspired
country, blues & Northwest coast garage band.
Finally the scenes spiritual leaders The Hokum Clones, a duo
that played what can only be described as psychedelic ragtime
blues. The Hokum Clones toured with
The Coral, Richard Ashcroft and Polyphonic Spree. This is an original and unique
record that once again demonstrates that Liverpool stands alone in its innovative
and inspired musical pedigree. The storm before the storm. All tracks are previously
unreleased and recorded between 2000 & 2003.
