The 20th Dream of Dr Sardonicus Festival,Cardigan august 2-4,2024.

Fruits de Mer records,sounds like something you are more likely to discover in a seafood restaurant,than your local record store.
The first release on catalogue was,in the hands of the New Jersey band,Schizo Fun Addict,they made a version of “Theme One” of Van Der Graff Generator,and it sounded exactly same in 2008,than it had been in 67´.
Andy Bracken and Keith Jones,were the founders of Fruits de Mer records,back in 2008,year.
In 2018,during the 10 anniversary,a new Pretties single,”The Same Sun”,was probably the best anniversary gift,Jones could ver have envisioned.

Groundhogs-Thank Christ For The Bomb(70)US.first edition Liberty Gat.24-96

Groundhogs-Thank Christ For The Bomb,Orig. US,lp

British Delta-blues band formed in 1963.
The band´s name cames from a John Lee Hooker,”Groundhog Blues”,song.
Members:Tony McPhee (guitar,vocals),Pete Cruickshank (bass),Ken Pustelnik (drums).
Musically speaking,the first 3 lps credited to Groundhogs and Tony McPhee,are a much light shining,for the high level of keyboards,electric guitar and drums.
These musicians,beats many of contemporary 70´s blues rock bands.
About this 3rd album,is quite more progressive than their previous classic blues rock,works.
The title album,is a summary of a protest-folk about WWII.

Play it loud,astonish McPhee guitar solos,he is the British equivalent to Hendrix.
