Mike Nesmith Special
Howdy Folks,
It’s a very special week for Bonanza & Son as we have an unusual radio show lined up for tomorrow afternoon at 4pm in light of the upcoming Michael Nesmith solo UK gigs, his first in over 35 years in fact, we shall be broadcasting a unique tribute to the great man.
Bonanza & Son have decided to focus on one of his lesser known but criminally overlooked solo LPs and that is his ‘The Prison' LP from 1974.
A concept album which in 1974 came in a box with a large format book intended for the listener to read and contemplate the illustrations and that, my friends, is exactly what we shall be doing live on air… We shall be playing the LP in its entirety, with all the breaks, just as 'Papa Nez' intended whilst reading from the text. The original idea being that as one reads the book and looks at the illustrations whilst listening to the LP one frees oneself and the protagonist from the prison of the mind!!! FAR OUT MAN!
This is going to be a first for radio and a truly unique experience.

Countrier Than Thou 5th Birthday Party @ The Lock Tavern
Live acts:
The Burning Condors:
With a brand new single released only last week The Burning Condors have been very busy of late putting the finishing touches to their eagerly awaited debut album as well as radio appearances galore and key showcase gigs. The single 'Honey Trap’ is a sleazy, dirty piece of 'surefire hit’ Rock ’N’ Roll and Americana. If that wasn’t enough it also features a Bonanza & Son hero in the shape of ace harmonica player and frontman extraordinaire JD Wilkes of 'The Legendary Shack Shakers’ and ’The Dirt Daubers’. JD is a massive fan of The Condors and has taken them under his wing giving them support slots, American festival shows and production help, the stamp of approval indeed from our favourite ‘Kentucky Colonel’.
The Burning Condors have been developing their Rock 'n' Roll 'chops’ and are guaranteed to rip the roof off our 5th birthday party tonight and are the perfect Rock ’N’ Roll icing on the cake.

+ Hymn For Her:
Lucy Tight & Wayne Waxing are 'Hymn For Her', a band that hails from anywhere and everywhere in the good ol’ US of A or rather wherever they can feasibly park their Airstream trailer...
These guys are the 'real McCoy’ for sure, utilising traditional Country & Americana instruments, narrative themes and song structures whilst fusing it with a ferociously amplified and distorted electric sound that wouldn’t be out of place on a Butthole Surfers album as produced by 'Mellow Gold' era Beck on Johnny Cash's home porta-studio.
Their new release, ‘Lucy & Wayne and THE AM’AIR’ICAN STREAM’ was entirely recorded in their classic trailer on a coast to coast U.S tour. They stopped at various camp-grounds and friends driveways between shows, set up their gear in their Bambi/home recording studio, rolled ‘real’ reel tape and rocked out. Armed with a bullet mic, a three-stringed broom handle/cigar box, banjo, bass drum, hi-hat, and harp, this ‘lil duo causes massive earthquakes, tsunamis and twisters wherever they play. This is gonna rock and The Burning Condors will be lucky if there is still a roof left on the building for them to tear off!

+ The Kilcawley Family:
A welcome return from our favourite Brother & Sister duo and anachronistic, Americana aficionados, The Kilcawley Family. These simmering, siblings have also been incredibly busy travelling the length and breadth of the country busking, gigging, wowing everyone from 'Ballooned up’ posh kids at obscure, boutique festivals, families day-tripping in Morecombe to record company executives in London. They now have management and representation since they last graced the Countrier Than Thou stage, as well as having been busy, beavering away in various recording studios up and down the country. They’re on fire at the moment with a brand new batch of songs and are nothing less than an Avant-Garde-Hillbilly phenomena. Theirs is an authentic, pre-war, Country sound with a Gothic edge in the vein of The Carter Family or Jimmy Rogers on a Bonnie & Clyde collision course with Vampira and The Adams Family with the best dress sense in town… All of this with rockets from both the crypt and the tombs up their collective jacksies!
Simply put we have missed them dearly and can’t wait to see them jump out of our 5th birthday cake with autoharp and acoustic guitars in hand!
