News in from Joe Cushley to celebrate the launch of Balling The Jack Records, whose debut offering is The Agnostics’ new album, Ten Thousand, due out on Aug 11th.
Joe says, if you’re not au fait with the work of this gnarly quartet of Canucks, go to www.myspace.com/agnosticmgc and take a look at the second video down, you'll see our ol' friend Seasick Steve freaking out to the sounds of Calgary's finest alt.blues and nu-bluegrass purveyors. Steve has no hesitation in dubbing them... "My new favourite band."
BBC DJs Mark Lamarr and Whisperin' Bob Harris are also firm fans and we hope you soon will be too. You’ve no choice but lifelong allegiance if you catch a glimpse of any of these red-hot n’ rootsy shows...
