Named after a wrestling move and sounding like a rubbish version of Dinosaur Jnr or Fugazi the Senton Bombs rocked a busy Blue Room. The three members, all from Blackpool, play their brand of rockabilly surf rock with wanton abandon and a sense of fun. Obviously not concerned with attaining musical perfection the fast and furious blaze of noise is a shot in the arm for anyone tiring after a long day of band after band. There is also a bizarre, yet strangely enjoyable, cover of country troubadour Townes Van Zandt’s ‘Pancho and Lefty’. Lead singer and bassist dedicates a song to street soldier and drug dealer Bodie from television’s The Wire and proceeds to take a stab at a Tom Wait’s impersonation by covering that show’s theme song, ‘Way Down in the Hole’. You can’t argue with that.
Ha! I love the bit about a rubbish D-Jnr/Fugazi - Never been compared to those bands before and it's way off what we're aiming for -but- Love 'em both none the less, like an inferior little brother should. Might have to get working on a Repeater cover. Catch up again some time, we're at some pub in Preston Saturday I think. Anyway, Glad we could interrupt the monotony for ya. It's all in the game.

A rambling man on the lost highway.
This blog began as a project for a journalism masters course at the University of Central Lancashire. It is now a collection of published and unpublished work, and a forum for some idle ramblings of an idiot. Feel free to leave a comment.
