I'd rather see rockabillies who love their music rather than mods who
haven't got a clue i.e. some of the clueless mods I meet at Uptight week
in week out. If they haven't heard it before (and what they've heard is
very little) then they don't dance. Only weeks ago I could keep them
off the floor with tunes like Afex, Birds Birds, Jacques Dutronc and
Georgie Fame but then they visited The Mousetrap and realised that I had
been playing tracks that they were allowed to dance to all along. It
still pisses me off that I can clear a dance floor just because they've
never heard the tune before, they stand at the bar wandering what this
great new tune actually is but don't dance to it for another 3/4 weeks.
This week's first ever play (I got a copy at last) at Uptight was Etta
Jame's Seven Day Fool, and it cleared the fuckin' floor. Bloody muppet
mods.
Mark.
