Oddlyvalid + The Boston Brew + DJs

The Boston Brew– featuring more former Cannibals (could be the same ones, I couldn’t possibly say…)and other mature exponents of Ye Trashe, expect a heady blend of Nuggets type punkers and Feelgoods like swaggering r’n’b. Absolutely stonking.  Oddlyvalid – Born in south London one lunchtime, two souls became five, then four, then two, sometimes three. Whatever the lineup, Oddlyvalid have been serving up strong punchy songs, grounded in pop, rock, funk, with nods to much more, for over a decade. Highly regarded initial album Mr Boxall delivers a dark tale of underworld rivalry, corruption and betrayal. Its follow up, First Among Prequels, attracted enthusiastic local radio support. And now, founders Dave Potter (vocals) and Dave Lloyd (guitar) are joined by John ‘Bison’ Boyce (bass) and Colin Lloyd (drums), so Oddlyvalid are four again, one in each corner. Expect to hear echoes of their experience in multiple genres (for example – Dave P with the poptastic DB5s; Dave L’s 3 albums with prog rockers The Gift; Bison fronting post-punk touring outfit Run Foxy Run). All these ingredients are packed into their new album – Broadside From The Falcon – due for release this autumn.
