Stupidly brilliant gig from Prague, March 2008. Superior sound - all live albums should rock like this. Black vinyl-style CD in full colour digipak. “As compelling as a good film noir, but twice as loud” – Uncut. Following the huge success of their album The Rotten Mile (universally rave reviews from Mojo, Uncut, Q and Artrocker - even The Sun, Times and Daily Mirror) Gallon Drunk took the show back out on the road and pressed home the advantage with a blistering tour of Europe. Live at Klub 007 was recorded in the Czech Republic, and it captures the “typically unhinged blues-based swagger” (Kerrang) in all it’s brutal glory. The band is well known for it’s working association with the likes of Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Faust and Wire amongst dozens of others, but equally remarkable is the venue where this live set was recorded - 007 Strahov in Prague has been around for over 30 years, hosting punk shows behind the iron curtain. There are seven tunes from the last album including the manic single Bad Servant plus a dip into the back catalogue with You Should Be Ashamed from the masterful From The Heart Of Town LP and early favourites Just One More & Two Wings Mambo. With James Johnston at the helm and Terry Edwards, Ian White and Simon Wring taking no prisoners, Gallon Drunk is in the prime of it’s life. Tracklisting : The Rotten Mile - Some Cast Fire - Down At The Harbour - Running Out Of Time - Put The Bolt In The Door - Just One More - Bad Servant - You Should Be Ashamed - Push The Boat Out - All Hands Lost At Sea - Give Me Back What’s Mine - Two Wings Mambo
