It is fair to say that we are more than a little excited about going to see the Felice Brothers next week in Birmingham – this being a rescheduled tour after the unfortunate cancellation of the original dates back at the tail end of 2011.
To coincide with their European jaunt the band have made a new song available for free download from last year’s exceptional Celebration, Florida album. Not only that it is one of our favourites (amongst many); Cus’s Gatskill Gym is a tale told from the perspective of Kevin Rooney, protégé to Mike Tyson’s manager Cus D’Amato, the song carries much like an actual fight would, with momentous riffs and electronic thuds echoing throughout the story of Mike Tyson’s career.
It is brilliant – if you don’t have the album already then shame on you. Buy it here.
Tour dates below too for the band the Daily Telegraph described as being “probably the most enthralling band currently to be seen anywhere in the world right now”. We’ve seen them once before and we think they are right. If you’re near any of these venues and don’t have tickets then shame on you twice!
Roll on next Wednesday.
