Dirty Strangers

by admin on May.19, 2010, under General

Big thankyou to everyone who came out to the gold bug club last week, we had a grand time and thanks for the ace sets from Sam McCarthy and The Nights.

Caught Keith Richards favourite band the Dirty Strangers last Friday night for their weekly shindig at The Inn On The Green, ladbroke Grove. Great night. The legendary John Sinclair was there and called up to improvise his spoken word over the grinding blues rythms, inspiring stuff, he started rapping this number about original delta bluesman Tommy Johnston, reminded me of that Jim Morrison record when he spoke his poetry over the band.

I got to shake his hand at the bar and said I was a big MC5 fan, he said ‘I’m a big MC5 fan too!’. My pals couldn’t understand why I was so excited to meet this man, I told them he was the leader of the white panthers and none other than John Lennon wrote a song about him ‘John Sinclaire’ to free him from jail when he was locked up and sentanced to 10 years for having one spliff on him. They got a bit wide eyed when I said the John Lennon bit.

Off to Camden tonight to see my pals band ‘Here we go magic!’. There opening for The New Porographers at The Electric Ballroom. I’ll tell you how it goes.

More Gold Bug dates added at Boogaloo June 10th and July8th.

See you soon

Adam
