This fall, Stace England will come back to Europe with his Salt Kings. On the internet Steve is called "Sufjan Stevens with balls" and balls he has.

On his previous record sings about the roots of the town he's living in Cairo, Illinois. A villige inbetween the Northern and Southern mentality. You can expect beautiful songs of the darkest history in Cairo: the gruel of slavery and their fight for freedom.

In october he'll come over to sing these stories for you.

"DON'T PRETEND THAT YOU KNOW ME" is the title of the new album of The Mojomatics. It will bhe out on 11th April on Ghost Records, vinyl version on Alien Snatch! Records. A european tour starts shortly after that.

Sedate Bookings is happy to take care of their Benelux bookings in the end of May. The Mojomatics, two men band from Venice, Italy will surely rock your socks!!

Two tunes in and i'm hooked. That could rival THE REIGNING SOUND in songwriting brillance. Injecting some infectious '60s whiteboy R' n ' B such as THE PRETTY THINGS, with the tambourine folk of, let's say, MOUSE AND THE TRAPS, with some raucous Delta blues an Atlantic soul. Christ, these boys can write them, play them, and sing them---retro without being, um, retro, folk without being cheesy, and soul without being another one of those soul/punk outfits. All brought together by their understanding of how to write a simple but great pop tune.DAMN BEST RECORD I'VE HEARD IN A LONG LONG TIME!

The .357 Stringband are working on a new record and we're working on a new tour. This new record will be released about a month before their second european tour in May. A lot of dates have been booked already, check them out in the dates section.

Review of their show in Paradiso, Amsterdam last October: "Friday in Paradiso I saw the concert of the year. Just before half past eleven the bizarre white trash quatret .357 Stringband from Milwaukee strarted their show. An trip of an hour where bluegrass raged by and was seen from the very inside. What a music, what a show!"

Black Diamond Heavies are coming back. Their tour in October blew us all away and now they are going to do this again. But now wíth Cut In The Hill Gang, the new band of Johnny Walker. Famous for singing in the (r.i.p.) Soledad Brothers.

This will happen in May and Sedate Bookings takes care of the Dutch bookings only. Make sure you know where they are and check it out!
