The Edgar Broughton Band - Apache Dropout Live
I first heard of the Edgar Broughton Band in the late 80s, when a local hippy muso compared my band at the time to them. I'd never heard of them, and the rest of the band looked none the wiser. I kept and eye out for some of their stuff, but it was always to pricey or I was too skint. I finally caught up with the band via a best of compilation and wasn't disappointed.
At times sounding incredibly dated and flip, at others grinding and apocalyptic. The growling vocals bring to mind Captain Beefheart, and as it turned out, I already knew a couple of their tracks without realising it via covers by the Gaye Bykers On Acid. This live video is from Beat Club circa 1970, and sees them doing a heavy guitar workout and gives a great insight into the band's sound and aesthetic.
