It's Free

Presenting a slice of pure pop for now people by the New Mendicants, a fresh combo - or should that be indie super group? - featuring Scud Mountain Boy Joe Pernice and TFC's Norman Blake. Out as we speak.

I Do

After a 16 year absence, the Scud Mountain Boys have teamed up again, and that's mighty good news. I still treasure the mid-nineties output of Joe Pernice & co, their impeccable Dance The Night Away album being a particular favourite. Lord knows I tried, but the oft-lauded Pernice Brothers - Joe's next project - never moved me just the way the Scuds did. So eat a chocolate rabbit, watch Captain Kangaroo, and give these guys another chance if you please. Do you love the sun?
