DIGGER AND THE PUSSYCATS
Young, Tight And Alright (Spooky)

Digger and the Pussycats? What the hell? Someone let me in on the joke, must be an Aussie thing. Yes Aussie. Apparently they use English down there, but screw it up so we don't know they're slagging us silly. Thank gawd for rockinroll, for as we all know, no matter how poncy an accent you may speak with, there's only one way to holler into a mike over electric guitars, and that's American English. Back to Digger and the felines. Actually a duo - all the rage in garage blues punk rawk circles (see: White Stripes, Black Keys, Sonny and Cher, uh...) - that bring a primo primal guitar and drum sound to the table. Scant chord tunes about cars and guns, like "Cars and Guns" for instance, provide thrills, chills and alcohol spills. Young, Tight and Alright indeed. Goose bumps all around ... on me!
