Personal Best Records: Band Of Frequencies

Answered by: Shannon Carroll

Best record you stole from your folks’ collection?
They had a few original pressings by New Orleans funk masters The Meters, but Rejuvenation is the one.

First record you bought? Sesame Street Fever, the muppet disco record, including such hits as C Is For Cookie featuring the Cookie Monster promoting “Disco disco dancing cookies”...

Record you put on when you’re really miserable? Music Makes Me Happy – OKA

Record you put on when you bring someone home? Below The Bassline
Ernest Ranglin, ft Monty Alexander on keys. Heavy-grooving Jamaican jazz. All class. 

Most surprising record in your collection? Paul Hogan Narrates Peter And The Wolf is definitely worth a listen “for your pleasure and edification…”.

Last thing you bought/downloaded? Flying – Garth Stevenson. He scored the Australian film Tracks and I loved it so much I bought his latest album.

When and where are your next gigs? 18 Sep, Mojo’s Bar with Simon Kelly and Jordan McRobbie; and 21 Sep, Indi Bar with Simon Kelly
