At last, Newtown Social Club’s band room is ready to go. And who has the honour of christening its stage with their psychedelic new tunes? The Perch Creek Family Jugband, that’s who. They’re back with a second studio album, Jumping On The Highwire, which they’ve released recently and are launching on a national tour. The new record takes the Family into a fresh, “psychedelic jug band” direction, full of high-velocity roots energy and all sorts of spirited instrumentation. They’ll play Newtown Social on Monday May 12 with support from The Woohoo Revue, and we’ve got two double passes up for grabs. To enter, head to the comments below and tell us why you’re looking forward to seeing Newtown Social Club in action.
