The Buffets - Saucy Jack




"On the afternoon of Sunday April 3rd, 2005, SISTER TIFFANY LEE flew in from Seattle and THE BUFFETS had their first rehearsal. On Monday the 3rd the girls recorded their debut album, and on Tuesday the 4th it was mixed and considered great. On Friday the 8th they played their first and final show with their male counterparts, THE BUFF MEDWAYS, to a full house at London ’s famous Dirty Water Club. Next day, Sister Tiffany flew home again. This is the record of that brief moment in rock and roll history. It was a hectic week but one that will hopefully encourage others to do less, quickly."

A fantastic tale of Rock ‘n’ Roll legend!  However I fear it may be somewhat of a tall one: Very little information can be found about this band and that may be no accident; For The Buffetts - put together by Billy Childish in 2005 and consisting of Sister Tiffany Lee Linnes: vocals and guitar (Ex Stuck-ups singer), Nurse Julie: bass and vocals (Chatham Singers) Matron Bongo: drums and vocals (Ex Headcoatee/Dutronc/Speed Of Sound) - may not have actually played their instruments on this album. 

As with a lot Childish/Medway era Garage Rock revival bands put together by Childish, The Buffets were the female counterparts to an all male outfit The Buff Medways and covered all Buff Medways material.  As was the case with other bands of this ilk such as The Headcoatees and The Delmonas, it was the original all male band that provided the instrumentation whilst their female counterparts simply provided the vocals - I suspect this may have been a similar set up.

DO NOT let that thought put you off though because the music The Buffets provide on this album is pure, wild, frenzied, full of piss & vinegar Rock ‘n’ Roll that smashes, bashes, thumps and rolls its way through town, flattening every plastic punk, piece loving hippy and briefcase carrying business man in its way with out discrimination.  The Buffets have nothing to prove, they care for nothing and want nothing.  They are a snarling, frantic beast that could only have ever lived a short life. The entire purpose of their existence being to record these fourteen drum heavy fuzzed out rock ‘n’ roll punk songs, then after a solitary live performance they crawled off to die alone in the dark, damp, piss and vomit stained ally from which they were born, leaving only this album as their legacy but what a legacy to leave. This is Saucy Jack.

Ten Mix Tapes You Need

Ten mix tapes you need in your life. In no particular order:


1) DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze


Recorded live from two practice sessions in preparation for a forthcoming tour: DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist mix, scratch & blend rarer than hens teeth heavy funk & soul gems like you have never heard before. Originally released and sold in extremely limited numbers on said tour, then bootlegged in to a worldwide sensation.

The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show @ The Brickyard Carlisle 25/03/2011

Photobucket


This Friday the 25th. This is the spiel copied directly from the Brickyard site @ www.thebrickyardonline.com.


CRAIG CHARLES FUNK & SOUL CLUB - DJ SET 

Plus support from: LAMBHUNA & TIM FORRESTER


Yes, Craig Charles, performance poet, Red Dwarf, Robot Wars, Coronation Street and a MASSIVE soul and funk fan. “When BBC 6Music asked me to do a show I only had one condition, it has to be a soul and funk show otherwise I wasn’t interested” And so the ‘Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show’ came into being right at the very start of 6Music, way back in March 2002.

The show is currently broadcast every Saturday night between 7 and 10 and is also available at any time through the listen again facility on the BBC 6Music website. “Since its inception I have been interested in all varieties of soul and funk music without imposing any barriers and I am just as enthusiastic about fresh new talent as I am about the classic artists from the golden age of the 60s and 70s”

“Here are a few of the names I have had on the show:- Gil Scott Heron, James Brown, Roy Ayers, Cymande, Marlena Shaw, Paul Weller & Primal Scream, Terry Callier, Candi Staton, Marva Whitney, The Roots and the Jungle Brothers as well as the leading players of the new school Kokolo, Cut Chemist, Sharon Jones, Osaka Monaurail, Amp Fiddler, Amy Winehouse, The New Mastersounds, Smoove and Turrell, Quantic, The Apples, The Grits, JTQ, and The Fusion Experience. I have also recently encouraged unsigned bands to get in touch and send in their demos to get played on the show and have had a great response with some seriously good music being sent to me from all over the globe. I am a massive fan of this music and to get the opportunity to spread the word is a dream come true”
Last year Mr Charles packed up his trunk of funk and enjoyed a handful of DJ gigs. He now has a monthly residencies at Band on the Wall in Manchester and Bloomsbury Blowing Lanes in London. His DJ set was also voted by the SUN newspaper one of the highlights of Glastonbury “Craig Charles brought his SUPERB BBC6 Funk and Soul Show to the Pussy Parlure on Saturday” July 2009. With lots of UK festival gigs under his belt, Glastonbury, Kendal Calling, Big Chill, Limetree Festival, Mostly Jazz & Vintage At Goodwood .... It doesnʼt look like the funk is going to stop anytime soon!

Junglist C#nt 1992-1994




Something a little different from me but I've always had a soft spot for Jungle / Hardcore from this era, so why on earth not.

Some of the mixing is a bit crap in places but it was just recorded on a turd free DJ thing. No sync buttons or anything like that used, blah blah blah. Give it a listen, I think the tunes should be good enough to see it through.

Put yer Hamster in its ball, me grannys fucking the coal man and all that malarky ;-)
