The Dead 60's, The Rifles March 15, 2006

The Dead 60s are Matt McManamon (guitar/vocals), Ben Gordon (guitar/organ), Charlie Turner (bass) and Bryan Johnson (drums). They?re from Liverpool, but crucially, they don?t have to be. Rather than trawl through the typically rizla-heavy ?vibes? of The La?s, Love and Beefheart for inspiration (the name is a dig at the Mersey seal of approval ?you sound dead 60s?), they will happily namecheck anyone with an eye for the dancefloor, regardless of age or era. Expect to hear traces of everything from Desmond Dekker, The Skatalites, Lee ?Scratch? Perry to Public Image Ltd, Happy Mondays and The Cure.
