A
gig
held at Exchange
on Wednesday 15th March. The event starts at 20:00.
Bob Log III, Fat Possum recording artist and one man band, is the indisputable prince of punk blues from Tuscon, Arizona. Witnessing Bob Log live is an unmissable and unforgettable experience. By rights he should be a punk blues stadium super star.
Bob Log’s identity and history is shrouded in mystery and rumour, probably helped by his stage get up and also when his record company put out an early press release claiming Log had a monkey’s paw grafted on to his wrist after a boating accident as a child. He takes to the stage behind the visor of a crash helmet – fitted with a makeshift telephone mic, of course, and clad in his famous blue jumpsuit. Bob then unleashes a torrent of hardcore Mississippi Delta blues, hip hop beats and punk rock. The crash helmet telephone distorts the vocals and his hands, arms, legs and feet become a blur of jump suit clad limbs as he plays slide, triggers drum machines and drums with his feet simultaneously.
