Apologies
Apologies for the lack of posts on here. Things have been manic. Just back from 20+ dates supporting 2 Tone legends The Specials. An incredible experience, which rounded off with 3 nights at Hammersmith Odeon.
Our new album is out now. Pama Outernational, which has already picked up airplay from a phenomenal 100+ radio shows, including: BBC Radio 1; Mike Davies, BBC Radio 2; Steve Lamacq, Alex Lester, Janice Long & Bob Harris, BBC6; Craig Charles, Shaun Keavney, Don Letts, Cerys Matthews, Huey Morgan, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins, xfm; John Kennedy, Kiss100; David Rodigan and BBC London; Gary Crowley & Robert Elms. Pama Intl also won BBC6's Rebel Playlist with a staggering 78% of the vote and recorded sessions for Jon Kennedy xfm and Robert Elms BBC London.
Press have been equally as responsive (see below) and this month we picked up a **** review in Mojo....
"Following recent high-profile live dates including spots backing the reformed Specials, Pama Intl continue their inexorable rise with this latest confusingly titled installment. As usual, their reggae and soul message is delivered with finesse, once more aided and abetted by the presence of former Specials Lynval Golding and Sir Horace Panter, with John Collins in the producers chair.
Radio-friendly Happenstance and opener Equality & Justice For All address social ills within the framework of deep roots reggae (each morphing into extended dubs on the CD), while Are We Saved Yet? and I Still Love You More draw heavily on the blueprint of 1960's soul, particularly through the organ riffs of co-founder Sean Flowerdew. repeated spins reveal the subtle nuances that hold it together, channeling well established influences to yield something fresh." **** Mojo
You can buy the album on cd or vinyl at www.rockersrevolt.com, HMV, Play.com, Amazon, Rough Trade, Recordstore.co.uk, and an ever growing number of great independent records shops. More on this later.
Next up, three shows; Norwich Arts Centre (16 Dec), Newcastle Live Theatre (19 Dec) and Leeds Hi Fi club (20 Dec). We're also recording two radio sessions this month; BBC Radio2-Janice Long (17 Dec) and BBC6 music-Cerys Matthews (18 Dec).
Then a well earned rest for Christmas before starting the spring tour. Can't wait. Hope to see you all soon.
