The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band

Event information

The irrepressible Rabbits celebrate the launch of new wax cylinder "Greg's Greats Record Shop" out on Kipper the Cat records - Oxford Launch on Friday 20th April at The Jericho Tavern! Plus The Brickwork Lizards + Shellac Shakes Greg Butler on the CJ/DJ decks

The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band are the best thing since sliced bread - a seven-piece speakeasy big band based in Oxford, with a reputation for chop bustin' sizzling festival sets and howlin' intimate shindigs, playing the finest raucous original 1920s & 30s jazz and 1940s jump blues, to get their vintage-loving crowd swinging.

Oxford 8 piece The Brickwork Lizards, recalling the music of the 30s and 40s featuring oud, cello, guitars, banjo, keys, trumpet and percussion under the silky Arabic vocals of Tarik Bashir and the wise words of MC Tomohawk. http://www.brickworklizards.com/

Plus a very special wax cylinder CJ / DJ set from Bestival legend Greg Butler.
With liquid shellac flowing through his veins, it's fair to say that perennial Camp Bestival and Bestival fave Greg's Greats knows a thing or two about pre-acid house dance music. This chap only has to rummage through his 100,000-strong collection of 78s to give any DJ whippersnapper a taste of the original good stuff, taking in 'golden era' rockabilly, big band jazz, jump up ballroom biz and old-school rhythm & blues.
