Hipbone Slim
Went out to Leytonstone to see what had been billed as a punk-surf-rockabilly band but that was mostly by me, and secondly mostly wrong. Slim Hipbone (or is it Hipbone Slim) and the Kneetremblers are much more Rock 'n' Roll, 50s Americana (Drums, standup Bass, Guitar) with a very lively set incluing the vocalist ("Baldie") making regular forays across the pub's tables. It's a good night, entrance is free (they have a slightly disorganised collection that it would be easy to avoid if you were a very mean person) and you can find more details at http://www.whatscookin.co.uk/.
The supporting band were called the Silver Saddles who played country numbers and hail from Sweden. Yol said "They're not very good". I said "You try writing and singing country music in your second language." She's working on a set that combines the Neapolitan tradition (Gigli, Caruso) with Nashville. Watch this space, as they say.
