Conan And The Mockasins

Although this year's Green Man festival suffered a spat of seriously crap weather, turning the usually beautiful landscape into a mud bath, it still managed to be incredibly enjoyable. And among the many great bands that played (there were many many), I found myself nodding considerably to the wonky bluesed out sounds of Conan and the Mockasins. Originally from New Zealand, the band now reside in London, obviously attracted by the weather, and they've just released a crunchy little 7" Sneaky Sneaky Dogfriend which can be purchased through their Myspace here. Think the Fiery Furnaces, Gallowsbird's Bark era but funnier.
