Moves" and the better "Vibrate". If the latter is anything to go by, then the album be definitely be worth a listen.
Simon Townshend reckons that the fact that The Jam were big fans of The Who, he was a big fan of The Jam, Big Country got their big break supporting The Jam and now Casbah Club are about to support The Who, is an amazing cycle of events. Certainly, you can hear the references to all three bands in the music of Casbah Club.
Drummer Mark Brzezicki has known Simon since they were teenagers. "I've played at Party in the Park before with some incredible artists. I've recorded with Rachel Fuller with both Simon and Pete. Who'd have thought I'd be playing Hyde Park again but this time with Casbah Club with Simon, alongside his brother's band? You couldn't make it up!"
Of course, Mark and Bruce Watson were in Big Country together for many years. "There are far too many Bruces in this band for my liking", says Bruce Watson, "And I didn't realise that the name 'Venustraphobia meant 'fear of a beautiful woman'. All I know is that the wife scares the shit out of me!"
Talking to SFR, Bruce (Foxton) hopes that Casbah Club have a big future ahead of them. We hope so too...
