Tom Stormy Trio featuring Rhythm Sophie – Finders Keepers

Pick of the Week 45 – Tom Stormy Trio

What the hell is this? Lovely matching blue polo shirts, stand up drumming and a Matt Bianco style number that sits somewhere between skiffle and psychobilly. Throw the husky tones of Rhythm Sophie in the equation and you’ve got yourself something special. 

With her sunny disposition she should provide guest vocals for so many other bands; imagine Bright Eyes featuring Rhythm Sophie? A Morrissey duet with Rhythm Sophie? PJ Harvey even?

Terry & Gerry - Clothes Shop

I'd never actually seen Terry And Gerry before discovering this video, and in a similar way to Sophie and Peter Johnson they manage to almost perfectly reflect the picture I had in my imagination. Bad haircuts, the sheriff's badge and cheeky grins. Terry & Gerry attempted to revitalise the dour eighties with some funpacked, washboard stroking, skiffle based action. Needless to say they failed miserably as can be seen from the comatose reaction of The Tube crowd. It's a sad world when Lady Gaga cracks out 480 million hits on Youtube and Terry & Gerry manage just 181.
