Price 11.99 USD
Patrick Dawes (who found fame playing percussion for The Herbaliser, Groove Armada and Richie Havens) & Eugene Bezodis (who is infamous for setting fire to Patrick when one of his on stage magic tricks went horribly wrong) are two talented English originals. Combining stellar musical ability, haphazard delivery and an innate desire to entertain, the duo"s recordings and live performances are delivered with a passionate amateurism that belies their near virtuoso talents. Think of them as contemporary music"s own Derek & Clive and you"re getting close. Their sound is whistles, bells and bongos combined with banjos, ukuleles and sunshine pop vocals to produce a unique but accessible music for post modern music halls. Patrick & Eugene are back with a new album, "Everything & Everyone", the follow up to their 2004 debut "Postcard from Summerisle" which included the hit "The Birds & The Bees". It kicks off with a simple song about perseverance set to a 20"s styled dance beat and an infectious banjo riff from long-time collaborator Samantha Eames. Next up is a cover of the Arctic Monkey"s "I bet you look good on the dancefloor" - check out Crazy Girl"s brilliant video for this song on YouTube. Other album highlights include songs about llamas, leprechauns and monkeys. Their last album featured in the July 2006 issue of Mojo as Paul Heaton from The Beautiful South"s choice for that months "Buried Treasure". He described it as the "wild and comic sound of inner-child music and movement"
