This dynamic duo is coming to town tonight just down the street at the Centre de culture ABC!
The Stripey Brothers
Last, was the first week of the Buskers Festival in Neuchâtel that is celebrating their 20th anniversary; this week being the second with a different batch of street performers. E & I went down to check it out, all the more since the fact that one duo had a washboard player had caught my attention.
The festival was fun, too many clown musical acts for my taste and far to much amplification, but groups like the Mongolian Egschiglen ensemble…
Bo Diddley - Road Runner (with rant)
Society’s value are really f***ed! The media was filled ad nauseum with nostalgia about Yves St. Laurent when he passed away the other day, but Bo Diddley? Pretty much nothing, nothing, nothing…
Kings of Nuthin'
A random browsing choked up the King’s of Nuthin’ this Sunday morning. Wowie Zowie! What a great punk band, and with a washboard player! Filmed in Bochum, Germany 2.6.06
Helena Jamming with Washboard Jackson
Now here’s some heavy washboard playing.
Great stuff!

Best is to put on an old LP of Brahms double concerto…
