New Video - 95 Charing Cross Road

This video for '95 Charing Cross Road' was shot over several nights in London at our Indy Awards Showcase @ 229 Club, our rehearsal room, 12 Bar Club & The Luminaire.
A big thank you to Scott Wakeley & Chris Lightwing over at Jazz Hands Films for putting all the chaos together! And Mark Street @ From The Street Productions for the original crowd shots at 12 Bar and Luminaire.
And a super-massive thank you to everyone caught dancing on this film, you know who you are...

TPBR Reviews:

"The Penny Black Remedy don't really play venues, more like storm them. A powerhouse of a band that reminds you just how powerful live music can be." - Shaun Litton, Promoter ~ Five Families, London, England
"The sizzling mix of punk, ska and of course country is just uber-cool" - Uncle Sallys Magazine, Berlin, Germany
"Their Balkan country punk juggernaut exhumes Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Hank Williams, checks Nick Cave's pulse for continued signs of life, and sets all of them go-go dancing till the bars close and the street cleaners come to pick up the bones." - Andy Lowe, Promoter ~ The 12 Bar Club, London, England
"The Penny Black Remedy are a truly international band with a "country gypsy punk sound". Warning: you will start jumping up and down with a big smile on your face when you listen to their music." - Hans Werksman, Blogger ~ Here Comes The Flood, Leiden, Holland
"With enough Gogol Bordello to make them a cult phenomenon and enough Dylan to give them a 50 year shelf life. Its only a matter of time before you see their red star outside every venue in London." - Keir, Promoter ~ Bloody Awful Poetry, London, England
