Tonight's post is in honour of my ever so cool bass playing friend Dom Green whose new band the Penny Orchids I went to see play at the 12 Bar Club tonight - so new in fact that there's not even any web stuff up on them yet but watch this space.  In honour of Dom then these are all about the funky cool rhythm of low slung bass and drums locked in tight together.  See, it's not all about being so complicated it could only have been put together on a computer.  In fact probably it's even more complicated when you play live and intuitive: all those imperfections that make things sound so good.  Like in 'Time' by Ty Segall & White Fence which came up on my cycle home a minute ago, or on Nirvana's 'Milk It', one of my all time favourite tracks, and one the band themselves were especially fond of, pointing in a new direction they might have ended up taking.  Like in the bad-ass bass-playing style of the Clash's Paul Simonon in 'Guns of Brixton', or as ripped off by Norman Cook in Beats International's 'Dub Be Good To Me'.  Or in more modern times the rock icon that is Warpaint's bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg, especially their cool track 'Bees' (<- track starts around 6.15 in).  Ice cool bass and drums heroes tonight I salute you: in the words of the mighty Folk Implosion: you're the ones, 'Natural One's.
