The other night I was about 4 whiskey and gingers into the evening and I was thinking about ninebullets. Really, I was thinking about how long it had been since I wrote about some down and dirty primal blues on here. I mean, I know I posted the Left Lane Cruiser set from Deep Blues a few weeks back, but I post about LLC at least once a month so I was thinking about something fresh, something we ain’t heard before. Then, like the swamp blues god knew what we needed, I reached into my big box of ’shit I need to listen to in a more timely manner but I am too fucking slow’ and pulled out The Speaking Tongues.
The Speaking Tongues are a punk-blues duo out of Canada consisting of Aaron Doyle on guitars and Pete Ross on drums, while both share the singin’, hollerin’ and wailin’ duties. They come out of your speakers like a big ole’ wall of distorted Mississippi Blues meets punk rock sound. Exactly what ninebullets.net has been lacking the past few months…someone said goddamn the torpedoes, let’s put the volume on 15 and beat the shit out of these instruments and see what happens. I’ll tell you what happens….some bad ass shit. Chris, are these guys playing Deep Blues Festival? If not, they need to be part of 2010.

I just noticed the Ben Prestage songs in your upper-right sidebar – he played here a few weeks ago for our South Florida Folk Round Up (heard of him but never heard him before). Enjoyable set – wish he’d done Crocodile Man, as that was written by Dave Carter, one of my favorite songwriters (and covered by Chris Smither, which is probably how Ben learned of it)…
