Fat Dusty at the Lobotomy View (Botany View Hotel)
This week's Sunday evening session at the BVH featured Chickenhead, The Nightsweats and Fat Dusty.
Chickenhead was 'Big Daddy' Roy Payne, from Satellite V, playing swamp music on an overdriven slide guitar with a drummer. Great stuff, I was transported to a jook joint somewhere on the Mississippi delta. Did a greasy version of "Mama Don't Allow" that was a million miles away from the Weavers!
The Nightsweats played bluesey country rock with some Led Zep influences thrown in. Their original songs sounded promising but the lyrics were drowned in the swamp that is the BVH house PA.
Fat Dusty was the Roy again with drums and bass doing more twangy material. Got the dancers on their feet and kept toes tapping throughout the pub. If you like the output from Fat Possum Records, you'll love this.
