Das Kapitans - Big Muff

  

  With 2021 being a bit of a damp squib due to Covid it was very easy to stay indoors all year and over indulge in the music of Das Kapitans (https://www.facebook.com/daskapitans). Every month we were treated to a new concoction from them. December presented us with an excuse for a spot of festive excess due to the release of the 29 track "Greatest Hits" album That'll Do For This Year (The Best Of 2021), a heady brew of aural delights. 

  But then came dry January when we had to abstain. A full 31 days on the wagon. No new releases, a chance to clear our heads but all in all a pretty miserable experience. 

  But, hoorah! It's now February and we can get back to drinking our fill. 

  The band are now a 3 piece with drummer Lewis Smith joining Stephen Potter & Simon Bailey. It's an addition that benefits them as you'll hear from their new single. As the band say, the recording process is just as DIY but by not being tied down to releasing a new album every month they aim to spend a bit more time on the detail. 

  The 2 songs on the single are tagged A side and B side but both are equally as good. It's available via Socks On Records and you can download it here : https://daskapitansband.bandcamp.com/album/a-big-muff-b-mtv

My names Tony from Blighty Selling my wears on a windswept car-boot Monday morning I'm trawling Classified free ads looking for my next hit Blindly optimistic Drive me up the wall Save yourself Save your song Make me proud Make me drown Must be something so random Baggy old jeans not looking like you want to Parties over with old friends Have another drink son stick it on the table Timely intervention Drive me up the wall His names Tony he’s spritely Selling his wears on the pier at Blackpool Sunday morning trades roaring Classified ads just looking for his next hit
