Muck And The Mires - I'm Down With That

Muck and the Mires, winner of the national Battle of the Bands organised by Little Steven Van Zandt, are the latest release on Dirty Water Records. The band will mark their first British release with a visit to play at two of England’s most noted venues, the Cavern Club in Liverpool on 24 June and London’s Dirty Water Club on 29 June. After beating more than 10,000 other groups in the epic Battle of the Bands – organized by the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band who is also the actor who plays
Silvio Dante on “The Sopranos” – they got to play at Van Zandt’s Underground Garage festival on New York’s Randall’s Island, alongside such names as Iggy & the Stooges, the New York Dolls, the Strokes, Bo Diddley, Nancy Sinatra, the Electric Prunes and British sixties pop-art group, the Creation. A garage band in the classic sixties tradition, Muck & the Mires hold the Beatles in high
esteem whilst at the same time having funny stories to tell about seeing the Ramones. Yes, they write catchy tunes with hooks galore (like the Beatles) and play them in a straight-ahead rock’n’roll style (like the Ramones) but the band says that its musical model is Tottenham’s own Dave Clark Five. This is their first vinyl 45 following a number of albums in the USA. One American reviewer said about “I’m Down With That” said, “In a better world, this would be a hit!”
