"Their first classic album" UNCUT
UNCUT 4/5 stars full review:
'Second album from twisted Cambridge four-piece.
Much admired by Kim Fowley, Steven Adams' troupe walk the tightrope between subversion and reverence with their take on country moves, though their dry delivery and mischievous couplets mark them out as, ironically, authentically English. Florid and fluid, Welcome Home, Loser is their first classic. When not skittering along to the folksy acousitc clack of "A Place You Deserve" (Belle & Sebastian on prozac) of the banjo roll of "Where The Hell Is My Baby", the tears in-light-alebreak-up ballads are genuinely moving'. Rob Hughes

Can we make this the 'plug things in Cambridge' thread instead (seeing as how nobody has answered this)?
I'm playing in Cambridge! The Chemistry Experiment are playing with The Organ on Tuesday 29th of March (at the Portland). So, um, if anyone who lives there is reading this, then come along.
(I have actually played with The Broken Family Band in one of my groups, but can't really remember much about them... I think they were quite good. Ali Roberts, on the other hand, is excellent, so people should go to that gig, for realz.)
