Dogg, Tymon -& The Dacoits-
Granada Sessions
Both Tymon Dogg and Richard Dudanski had musical roots playing in The 101'ers with future Clash-hero Joe Strummer. All three shared a deep love for southern Spain. Tymon's career began with beguiling interactions with Apple Records, The Moody Blues and future Led Zeppelin members John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page before he discovered his true musical self as a punk-folk experimentalist. Richard (who had already spent time in Spain) played in Basement 5, PiL, The Raincoats and others before returning to Granada which subsequently became second home to Tymon and Joe. On these recent sessions the gentlemen team up with some of Spain's leading punk musicians. If you imagine the playful elasticity of 'Sandinista!' recast into a more straightforward record, you're halfway there. Guests include Killing Joke bassist and famed producer Youth, and Dr Robert from The Blow Monkeys.
