Easter Eggs

Quick catch up on the Easter weekend, which started off with a trip to Old Compton Street to get my hair cut by Paul. He's been tending my locks for over 20 years and more often than not the haircut is followed by a swift pint or three. Several jars later I wobbled down to Acoustic Suicide to catch marvellous sets by Congregation and the Boycott Coca Cola Experience. BCCE were also live on Saturday's show, playing a very entertaining session of quality post-modern blues. Le Shark were live on the show too and equally excellent, with their Frenchified pop antics. The deXter Bentley themed Easter continued on Saturday night at the Half Moon with a line up including Shimmy Rivers And And Canal plus Agaskodo Teliverek, possibly my favourite two bands we've had on the show. Both outfits have relatively new line-ups and were a joy to behold, not least because of their impeccable dress sense - fetching tight shorts for Agaskodo Teliverek and a specially knitted Hello Goodbye jumper being sported by Shimmy's keyboard player. As if all this wasn't fantastic enough, Keith turned up too - turns out he used to live across the road in New York from one of Extradition Order, who were also on the bill.
