Under The Influence

Originality is a myth; there’s always a thread leading backways, sideways, you know the ways and here on Under the Influence if there’s a thread we’ll pull it. Untangling the mess of genres built on a genre, styles on a style and sounds on a sound. If it feels fresh and original then it still came from somewhere, the reimagining of an old boot, the re-envisioning of old hat. We can trace these new combinations back to the big bang, let’s copy and be happy. There’s no shame. It’s what we do. And we do it well. We trace meandering lines from what has come before, from the artists, songs and sounds that seasoned many more after them. The strong flavours linger. Nothing is truly original and we say that here at Under the Influence as a good thing. This show seeks to unpack, disassemble and wonder at these byproducts of both undeniable and unacknowledged borrowings.

Bit more serious packets no more messing shteamboats with a hint of more messin hedge. The blues set us up and knock us silly. Traversing the Atlantic in a boat made from a guitar we chart the blues in its journey back over and back over again. From the early ground breakers to the bluesbreakers and back again, from Muddy Waters to Slowhand and the Green God. Fleetwood Mac size us up. Pilot uimhir a do goes lovely with a baga m...

New terrain inn't. Watch me flounder with your ears. Pat B sits in the fart warmed seat. Under the Influence is off the ground, in facts it's getting high on its own supply.

Whether you’re losing your mind or don’t mind losing we’re ar muin na muice on the back of last week’s improv we go all out jazz and watch it with our wide open ears as it morphys inta soul R agus B agus gospel. Not a Pat Harmony or any Gerry Melodie’s just straight up rhythms. The lack of structure suits us the slack lecture mutes us.
