Joe Gideon & The Shark "DOL" directed by the Archie Bronson Outfit
Gideon plucks six strings, dreams stories and sings. Kid sister Viva, a.k.a. 'The Shark', plonks, stomps and honks. Formerly members of Bikini Atoll, they released two albums on Bella Union, second album recorded by geeky genius Steve Albini. Then, they formed a family band and spent summer 06' getting drunk in a barn writing songs on their 8 track recorder. It's been two years now and in this time they've been invited to play with great bands and musicians around europe; Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Archie Bronson Outfit, The Duke Spirit, Scout Niblett, Michael Gira to name but a few. Their tales are beginning and their tails are wagging....
Here's what Drowned In Sound has to say about them,
'How to describe London-based duo Joe Gideon & The Shark without you being in the same room as me… it’s tough, for sure. Without waving hands and pulling shapes it’s tough to convey what this music can – and usually does – do to a body exposed to it; it’s rough, ragged, blues in its veins. It’s dark, atmospheric, oddball and surreal; it’s on your doorstep and in your airspace, alien yet talking the same language about the same ol’ trials and tribulations of a life lived. Uppers and downers: expected and accepted...'
