TRACKLISTING. MONDAY 28/11/2011

In tonight's show we loved the down and dirty rock ‘n’ roll of Texan underground favourites RTB2, who breath new life into the gritty blues rhythms of the past. And the rude awakening of ‘Pins’ by Norwich trio Fever Fever is a master class in abrasive noise, or ‘art-punk-fight-pop’ as they put it.

We feasted on the fruits of a mid-week session from the “five-headed monster” that is Papa Le Gál (which is Brazillian slang for ‘Daddy cool’, we’ll have you know). Producer Lucy was lucky enough to sit in on the session and she was quick to lavish praise on how tight the band sounded. Lucy tells no lies - just listen to the flawless recordings of ‘Take A Step’ and ‘Wake Up’ for yourself.

The enviable flow of Karl Phillips - he of The Midnight Ramblers - drew our admiration for its speed and precision. And the fact it’s propelled by a boisterous dubstep wobble means that the tune ‘Dangerous’ could well be one to watch out for in 2012.

Another highlight was the wonderful ‘Your Ego Might Grow’ from Joep Van Son & Jelle Van Veenen, which combines the best bits of The Beta Band with an unmistakable European eccentricity. If the book it soundtracks is anything as good this song, then I’m learning Dutch.
