Something a little different for Rootin Aboot:

"Shack*Shakers are the ultimate in demented cowpunk - a moonshine fuelled whirlwind of brutalized rockabilly and warped irreligious imagery. Johnny Cash would no doubt of approved. and so should you." - Kerrang

"This quartet create a gloriously exhilarating collision of full tilt blues, swamp voodoo and hillbilly rock...intoxicating energy and intensity" - Q

"They resemble (in appearance and sound) a glorious cross between the Deliverance and Grease movies, and that really does work a lot better than you'd think. The song's from the new "Believe" record are foot-tappingly brilliant" - 8/10 Metal Hammer live review

“A non stop riot of blitzkreiging barndances, meltdown polka’s and black hearted blues. The devil’s music, straight from hell.” - 5/5 The Guardian

I am so looking forward to this gig - I was all prepared to take a day off work and go down to Glasgow to see these guys before they were confirmed to play the Lemon Tree. Their gigs are events, a real lesson in full-on warped carnival showmanship. Superb!

Sounds like it's going to be great, definitely worth missing TOTP for. Might even have to miss Emmerdale, now that's a sacrifice.
