Performing as part of The FRINGE suppoerted by BBC 6 Music.
Buster Shuffle has enjoyed a hugely successful year in Europe, playing their own soldout shows in Berlin, Vienna, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Munich, Bochum and Hamburg as well a number of high profile festival slots in Germany (with Lee Scratch Perry), Czechoslovakia (with Frank Turner) and Denmark and some massive arena shows in Italy with The Dropkick Murphys. In the UK support slots with the likes of The Rifles, The Blockheads, The Wombats and Shed Seven has seen the band's reputation enhanced even more. Buster Shuffle's remarkable year was capped by the success of the album'Do Nothing' which continues to regularly chart on the Amazon Europe's bestseller list. The band's recent single, 'Elvis vs. Wag', received glowing endorsements from BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music as well as XFM where front man Jet has become a regular on Danny Wallace's breakfast show.
Music is supposed to be about having fun and it's practically impossible not to have a good time when listening to Buster Shuffle. The secret lies in the inspired song craft and arrangement skills of creative driving force, Jet Baker, who effortlessly fuses Cockney ska/pop with an authentic rock and roll sound and lyrics that are guaranteed to make you laugh. As British as fish and chips, its mischievous piano-bashing boogie, with songs about drunken arguments, crafty cats, anti-social night buses, dirty older women and messy divorces. Uncut magazine gave debut album, 'Our Night Out', four out of five stars, citing Buster Shuffle as'one to watch', and the band have won a number of high-profile fans including BBC radio giant, Steve Lamacq and Pixies legend, Frank Black. Buster Shuffle's line-up comprises the virtuoso, creative behemoth that is
Jet Baker on piano and lead vocals, the best rhythm section you could hope to find in the shape of Terry Mascall and Tim Connell on drums and double bass, James Stickley, giving heart and soul, on guitar along with, more recent additions, singers, Debs Bridgeman and Carrie Griffiths, and Pete Oag on keyboards and backing vocals.
The new album 'Do Nothing' features a number of collaborations with legendary characters from classic bands (Micky Gallagher of The Blockheads/The Clash and Roddy Radiation of The Specials) as well as contemporary indie and dance acts (Ian Catskillkin of Art Brut and Wag of The Infidels), lending the record a truly unique flavour and a broad appeal which effortlessly transcends generations.
