    • IT MAKES ME FUCKING SICK , MAN.   BTW , CUNNINGHAM WAS STILL JERRY LEE'S BASSIST AS OF LATE LAST YEAR WHEN I LAST SAW JERRY LEE , AND , NO DOUBT , HAD'NT RETIRED , BUT NEEDED A DEMEANING AND DANGEROUS SHIT JOB LIKE THIS TO PAY THE BILLS. I SAW B.B. DO A SOLO SHOW WITH JAMES BURTON ON GUITAR AT THE PONDEROSA STOMP. IT WAS GREAT. OF COURSE , HE DID "LET IT ALL HANG OUT" (DR. IRA MADE HIM DO IT TWICE !), AND HIS EARLIER ROCKER "BANDSTAND ROCK". HE BROUGHT SO MUCH TO JLL'S BACKING BAND. THE KILLER ALWAYS HAD FINE GUITARISTS LIKE KENNY LOVELACE AND JAMES BURTON IN HIS BACKING BANDS , BUT , USUALLY , CLUELESS BASSISTS AND DRUMMERS , WHENEVER I'VE SEEN HIM IN THE PAST 25 - PLUS YEARS. THAT SHIT STOPPED WHEN B.B. ENTERRED THE PICTURE. CUNNINGHAM MAY NOT BE HELD IN AS HIGH REGARD AS DONALD "DUCK" DUNN  IN MEMPHIS , BUT , HE WAS WELL RESPECTED , AND JUST DESERVED BETTER.

      Hi Allan,

      Thanks for getting back to me. So many amazing bands you've been in! I'll get some questions written up and email them to you. I'll try and come see your new band when you play in Dalston too, not too far from where I am.

      Cheers

    • Hey Garagepunk Hideouters...

      After years of lugging CD's and LP's with me to DJ gig, I think I'm finally ready to switch to working off of a laptop. 

      Any suggestions for decent and usable DJ software to run on a Mac laptop? I'm willing to pay if it's totally killer, otherwise something free would be preferred.

      Also.. any thoughts about an outboard soundcards? My friend runs one so he can designate one soundcard (cpu headphone jack to mixer) as channel one, and the other (external USB driven soundcard to mixer) as channel two.  He then plugs the unit into the external mixer for choosing the channels, fading etc.

      I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

      Thanks

      D.E.

    • Have a look at a band called the Witches from Brighton on FB, bit darker and psychy, they're also on tour soon. As above with Dirty water, all I posted was what I'd bought recently, the Dustaphonics album is excellent. Snakeman 3 were in France for a week and are trying to finish their new single so probably wont be playing again for a while, check out the Fallen Leaves, their guitarist was in the Subway Sect, they regularly play at a club night in Hackney, name of which escapes me now but they have a couple of albums out. Not English but Acid baby jesus are also excellent, their album was played a lot by me. And the Embrooks need to be checked if only for Jack!

      And for a lovely bit of psychyshoegazing look for the Koolaid electric company, Untitled is ace!

      Blimey! Bit of a ramble there, it's me age!!

    • There are quite a few really great UK-based bands included on the Hideout Comp Series. The Thanes, The Creeping Ivies, Pussycat & the Dirty Johnsons, The Parents, The Past Tense, Lot Lizards, Les Bof!, The Blue Giant Zeta Puppies, Rattlin' Bone, Los Tentakills, Atomic Suplex, Mutants of the Holocaust, One Fathom Down, The Mourning After, Agent Twang, Acid Fascists, and Al Hotchkiss are all from either England or Scotland.

      And yeah, like Dave said, check out Dirty Water Records. They're one of our advertisers here, too, and offer a discount in their store for Hideout members.

    • Although I'm no bassplayer, I've borrowed my brother's – more upscale model – SG a couple times for studio work, and have no complaints.  In my experience, it is an "easy" bass to play, and personally I think four-stringed SG's look cool too. My bro. has several other basses, but the SG is usually his first choice.

      Be aware though, that a properly set up guitar is – at least part of – the key to great guitar (or any instrument for that matter) sound and feel… 

      Generally branding certain gear as "crap" based on a single experience (I'm sure there are a few shitty Casady's lying around too), hearsay, or even looks (and in my book the EB2 is a real non-looker – but each to his own) regrettably seems to be a quite popular "modus operandi" on the www.  Sadly, the quality of such opinions is… well, crap.  Hope you have the integrity to realize their limited value.

      Now, I won't tell you that the budget-priced "faded" model SG is the only/best alternative for you, but if you want shortscale, and you dig the design, then it just might be… But, in any case; "try before you buy" is my best advice, and if possible; have a good guitar tech look it over before the "trying" part. 

      Best of luck.

      Thanks guys for your answers. I heard it s a easy bass to play (it's shortscale) and it s one of the reasons of my interest. The Casady looks great but I'm really a shortscale guy (when speaking about bass :-) )...
