The Mudd club return to the Red Lion BS5 on Saturday 29th, with Support from the wonderful Hunter Burgamy (New Orleans) and Joe strouzer (Newcastle)

The Mudd Club:
Delinquent garage rockers with a penchant for all things loud and fuzzy and a drive to provide what they feel the world needs more of nowadays - pure rock n roll in its most primitive and scuzzy glory. 

Originally from the distant and ever-exotic land of Lawrence, Kansas, the Mudd Club now find themselves based in Bristol, England.

The band lineup features Sadie Morningstar who is responsible for dishing out gritty sass-filled vocals and searing guitar licks so hot and trashy it’ll rip ya to shreds.

Julian West thunders away and bashes out the most primitive and energetic beats to ever grace your ears (or deafen them at least,) while Joe Trudgeon propels the whole lot along with impressive yet solid bass lines, while looking like he’s just time traveled from the 1930s. (Yes, he’s in the band. No, he’s not a lost jazzer who accidentally ended up at a punk show.) 

The Mudd Club are always ready and willing to rock n roll all night with their trashily glamorous action-filled sludge of sonic voodoo.

Hunter Burgamy:
Hunter Burgamy is a guitarist, vocalist, bassist, and jazz banjoist from New Orleans, Louisiana. Deeply rooted in his native towns' traditions of blues, funk, and jazz, he aims to transcend genre through his musicianship by his interest in these roots, and world folk musics, a passion of his.

Hunter is a founding member of the Secret Six Jazz Band, with whom he has made 6 records, in addition to multiple Jazz Fest appearances and tours throughout Colorado. He has also contributed to records by New Orleans artists such as The Smoking Time Jazz Club, Dave Ruffner, Jenavieve and the Winding Boys, The Sheephead Serenaders, James Evans, and The Cigar Box Serenaders. In 2023, Burgamy contributed banjo parts to several tracks of PJ Morton’s scoring of the Disney ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

He will be joined by Lewis Taylor on the Trumpet

Joe Strouzer:
Joe Strouzer sings songs from his travels from Newcastle to New Orleans and a hell of a lot of places in between. His driving resonator guitar is coupled with true harmonica voodoo and biting songwriting of modern trouble, heartpains, moonlit trysts, drinking and devilment, peppered with a rich history of blues.

On harmonica Joe was picked as London's best busker by Vice Magazine, has supported the late blues guitar legend Johnny Winter and performed all over the UK, Europe and USA including London's Royal Festival Hall, Divan Du Monde in Paris, Made In America Festival in Los Angeles and Glastonbury Festival.

2015 saw the release of his studio debut, Bottle Broke, with 9th Ward Tape, a collection of old blues and traditional American songs following in summer 2016, recorded straight to tape in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In 2020 during lockdown Joe Strouzer is releasing a series of self recorded EPs with the support of Arts Council England, May, June & July are out now.

Joe Strouzer’s new LP, Newcastle To New Orleans was released 20th May 2022, vinyl records are available at joestrouzer.bandcamp.com

“I love that!” Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2 Blues Show

“Joe played the harmonica so damn good” Gill Landry, 2 x Grammy Award Winner.

"Where in the world did a limey kid from the U.K. get the nerve, and the talent to sing the blues like he had roots in the 1930's Mississippi Delta. I am happy to know that Joe Strouzer has the soul and the talent to keep the blues alive" Leroy Martin, Swamp Pop Legend and Louisiana Board of Music.

"The only British guy I've ever liked"  Blind Texas Marlin
