defrogAn argument could be made that the music scene only needs one blues-inspired duo with a female drummer.
Making the case against that argument: Joe Gideon and The Shark, performing “DOL” for yr pleasure.
The White Stripes comparison is obvious on paper, but musically I think Joe Gideon and The Shark (who cut their teeth in Bikini Atoll) are closer to Archie Bronson Outfit (who actually directed this video) – less bombast, more derdang, and slightly surreal. (They’ve touring with Nick Cave and Seasick Steve if it helps – and based on this evidence it’s a good fit without copying either Nick or Steve.)
However you describe it, “DOL” has been getting repeat listens from me. If the album ever gets to these shores, I may just have to buy it.
Daughter of a loony,
This is dF
