now this is funny ... it had me p##sing my pants for a good 10 minutes ....
let me tell you a story ...
last year i was watching the legend that is mr jools holland and his hootnanney festive cracker. he introduced an artist that just blew my very weighty socks off .. one man, one guitar and a phat phat sound. the last feedback squeals die down and '... thank you c16'. i catch the name and make a mental note to check him out on google when i'm sober. a week or so later i plug in C16 to google ... nothing, apart from a christian rock band on myspace... jeees i wasn't that drunk was i? a few search variations later and still nothing, oh well he must be pretty underground, i'll keep my ears and eyes open and see what i can pick up.
>> fast forward to glastonbury 2007 and i'm sitting on the sofa, just watched iggy fill up the stage with stoned punks, feeling a bit smug that ive just seen a lil bit of cult history .. when smack! theres my man c16 in the shack/tent/tree house affair doing a turn for jo whiley, he's just as awesome, nasty and powerful as i recalled. the last feedback squeals die down and '... thank you c16'. so off i piss the the PC and search for him again .. still jack s##t ... think to myself, this guys a bit of a low key character and leave it, until tonight that is.
>> the mystery has just got too much, ive just spent 2 hrs searching for c16 the 'blues fuzz guitar singer with a battered baseball cap and overalls' and so on.
ive finally found the fucker. why am i laughing?
his name?
seasick steve
twat
ive picked up a few tasty morsels about the guy tonight on my weave around the www. he was at Haight Ashbury in 1967 getting some free love, all by chance, having lived the hobo life for many years. He later lived below kurt cobain, in olympia near seattle and went to the first gig dave grohl played with nirvanna, he was one of the last people to speak to kurt and i quote "He was a nice boy... I would have killed myself to if I was married to that chick he had (Courtney Love)! She was ugly, and she was nasty as can be man..." he has a long player avaiable right now called 'dog house music' and its hard as nails...
take a peep at the vid above an see why he got under my skin for the best part of a year....
see you in the next life
