JAH WOBBLE – Song For Ewe

JAH WOBBLE – Song For Ewe

“SONG FOR EWE” is the feature where artists & music people beloved by VELVET SHEEP choose an obscure song they’ve been listening to that day. The word legend is thrown around willy-nilly these days but sometimes you have to throw it like a projectile – javelin-like and totally justified, as today’s guest is truly Jah-like when it comes to playing the bass, with his inestimably powerful acid dub punk low-end soundscapes and arse quakes. Original bassist of Public Image Ltd, playing on their first two monumental PiL albums, Jah Wobble was one of four pre-Pistols Johns – all friends as thick as thieves along with John Lydon, John Grey and John Simon Ritchie (aka Sid Vicious) who named him after wilfully mispronouncing John Wardle’s real name. With his alleged big “builders hands” Wobble was more suited to the bass than guitar, and thus begat musical greatness of a geezer whose deep dub infused style really laid down the blueprint for PiL and lit the blue touchpaper for post punk. Where the bass ended and Wobble began nobody could tell, such was his unique quality and outer body mastery of his chosen instrument. After a post “Metal Box” bust up (an album he’d co-written and played bass and drums on), Wobble never faltered, formed The Human Condition and ended up collaborating with like-minded musically literate souls Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit on Czukay’s solo forays and beyond. He went onto form the long-running Jah Wobble’s Invaders of the Heart and despite setbacks...

BLONDES – Lucky 7

BLONDES – Lucky 7 LUCKY 7 is the feature where we ask artists to name their 6 favourite songs by others, and a lucky 7th song of their own… Covid is a twat. Every single death a tragedy. Lives have been forever changed. Businesses closed, never to reopen. Friendships fractured that may never repair. But can anything have been kicked harder in the balls than live entertainment? Music, comedy, theatre, panto, all victims of that...

TREVOR DUNN of TOMAHAWK & MR. BUNGLE – Song For Ewe

“SONG FOR EWE” is the feature where artists & music people beloved by VELVET SHEEP choose an obscure song they’ve been listening to that day. Today’s guest is a noise rock legend, from a band of fellow Mount Rockmore alumni (see pic). Tomahawk have a brand new album on Ipecac called Tonic Immobility and listening to it takes me back to all my favourite albums of a few years back (the 90s were a few years...
