Happy Mardi Gras y'all! (Part 2)
On arrival we became acutely aware of the fact that our paper bags wouldn’t quite cut the mustard in South Louisiana, and rightly so. After a few bemused looks we were promptly kicked out!
We want to send all our happiest Mardi Gras wishes to y’all and especially to all our good friends we made in Cajun country, South Louisiana, we miss you all dearly.

Quite a risky proposition but I’ll make it up as I go along and see how it goes. Here it is, sanded and undercoated, ready for Rolf Harris’ magic to infuse my paint brush.
New Studio!
We’ve just acquired a new studio space up in Tottenham, it’s basically a crack-den at the moment but with several hundred licks of paint and a home built studio it’s going to be Scoundrels HQ, where we record in an old-skool, no frills kind of way. We’re taking inspiration from Daptone Records in Bushwick, New York where Amy Winehouse recorded...
