Here's one from the lost and found files from April 5, 2008 at that infamous club in Cambridge. This was recorded just before we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Wormtown for air on WURN.org and somehow it got pushed aside and forgotten until now. Myself and radio partner Jeff Worm made our way to Mass Ave. on a cold and dreary day to take in the show. I was determined to get some kind of interview with this band formed by Clash and Big Audio Dynamite Guitarist Mick Jones and his band mate Generation X and Sigue Sigue Sputnik Bassist Tony Jones. Formed in 2002 they released "MPFree" as their first single. They would go on to record thirteen "albums" from 2006-2009 and give them all away free for download from their website. As Mick says in this interview, "we didn't need the money". Somewhat similar to BAD, they used samples and loops in their early work but progressed on to a more traditional sound of a rock and roll band. They had five more commercial digital releases from 2010 to 2013 and are still listed as an active band.
The show was very well received by the crowd with the band rounded out by Dominic Greensmith on drums and Leon "Easykill" Williams on bass. After the performance Mick stuck around to meet fans and sign autographs. As for the interview parts of this recording, Jeff and I were wandering around before the show and noticed a fancy tour bus parked behind TT's and knocked on the door. Tony James invited us in for a talk while Mick opted to do his interview after the show. So that's how I left this recording for your listening pleasure.
