Mr Trick & Wrongtom: Show #62 (Dec.’09)

Mr Trick — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:23:11 +0000

With Trick suddenly bed ridden with a vicious case of the sniffles, the original plan for a decade rundown show was scuppered. Fortunately all was not lost as Santa’s little helper dropped by in the shape of our irregular regular Ed Zed who suggested a last minute ‘spiky dread’ special. Cue a deluge of dub and reggae music made by punks and new wavers, all giving their unique twist to the scruffy skank.

It may sound like a one trick pony of a show but we can assure you that this is no less varied than our usual fare. From the mechanical skank of Basement 5 to the Danish distortion drenched Sods, Ed & Tom prove that punks knew a thing or two about the one drop, the three foot skank and doing the rocksteady.

Plus there’s more of the same idle chit chat, erroneous facts (replace “Thomas Dolby” with “Howard Jones” when listening) and shameless self promotion, not to mention possibly one of the best band names we’ve aired yet in the shape of I-Jog and the Tracksuits.
