Happy Birthday to Superman Revenge Squad

Tomorrow night I’ll be playing with Superman Revenge Squad, aka Ben Parker and chums, on his birthday, at the Green Dragon in Croydon. This is an opportunity to say Happy Birthday and to plug his fantastic music. I recently went on a fairly hefty roadtrip to Edinburgh and back via various bits of central and west England, and his EP got played a few times. And a few times when I was back, at work. I really like it. I don’t know whether it’s fair to describe it as antifolk - most antifolk is bollocks, but SRS is what non-bollocks antifolk sounds like. He has a song about The Angriest Dog in the World, an obscure David Lynch cartoon (yup, look it up), and I think there’s one about how Billy Corgan is a dick. Or that might just have been a conversation I had with him… His website, supermanrevengesquad.com, has loads of free music and a blog. I recommend you head over there right now. And to the gig at the Green Dragon tomorrow night if you live in Croydon or environs.
