\"Finnish<\/a><\/p>\n

The best gigs are like detective stories and next Thursday’s at the Bullingdon Arms is no exception.<\/p>\n

I’ve been conducting a thorough investigation in order to bring you more info on the other acts. Facts are thinner on the ground than the soles of my well-travelled espadrilles but I can say with some certainty that the evening promises to offer an eclectic mix.<\/p>\n

First up, the headliners, Wigwam. Could this really be the Finnish glam rock band formed in 1968, whose debut album ‘Hard ‘n’ Horny’ was described in a 1974 issue of NME as having ‘highly hummable tunes in a strange off-minor harmonic setting, out of which are spun casually loony words in the manner of a mildly psychedelic Spike Milligan.’?<\/p>\n

Next, Martini Rockers. A toothcomb trawl of cyberspace has failed to shed any light on this intriguingly-named act. However, I do know that local musician and producer Martin Newton plays with them and he’s a man of discernment so I expect them to be good.<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, if you search ‘Martini Rockers’ you come up with Pink Martini<\/a>, a neo-swing-era big band that play Amado Mio, a song featured in the film Gilda that I was thinking of covering myself. Can this be mere coincidence?<\/p>\n

Then there’s Yellow Fever<\/a> – some google-based gumshoeing has uncovered their myspace but the real mystery here (apart from why people still use myspace) is: What on earth prompted local music magazine Nightshift to put them in the Demo Dumper last month?<\/p>\n

Finally Jack Harley Bourne is a hard man to track down but the word on the street is that he’s folk based and he plays alone.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and if you haven’t heard Moogieman yet check out his songs on Bandcamp<\/a> or, even better, come along to the Bully on Thursday and catch him live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
