Independent Country and Walter Mitty's Head

Event information

Independent Country
Independent Country are 6 indie-rock vets from Birmingham, with a long history of Peel sessions and sticky dancefloors behind them, who finally saw the light a few years ago and decided to head way down South, to Nashville in fact. As part of their messianic mission, they've decided to convert your favourite indie disco classics, from the likes of Flaming Lips, Pixies, Happy Mondays, Arctic Monkeys (and even Dinosaur Jr), into country and western barn dance floor-fillers.
Floppy fringes and baggy jeans are swapped for pedal steel guitars and four part harmonies as the NME meets the Grand Ole Opry. You ain't heard nothing like this!
Independent Country have taken a few years to perfect their craft and this year have been in demand for festival appearances at Shiiine On, Bearded Theory and Moseley Folk. World domination is clearly on the cards, so you should take this opportunity to catch their first appearance in the Preston. Saddle up your ponies and say hello to the best gang in town!

Walter Mitty's Head
Walter Mitty's Head from East Lancashire form the second part of this Tuff Life Boogie Americana special, and mine 50s rockabilly and 60s garage beat for their inspiration. Anyone who caught their barn-storming set at The Ferret supporting the Primevals in February will know that this band are a force to be reckoned with and not to be missed.
