Last night a friend and I went to a bar and this band happened to be playing. They have a unique sound that’s a mix of blues, jazz, punk, rockabilly, etc.
these two videos have guerrilla performances…

Flav did pretty great! He sang it like the poem it started as. The scragly-bearded white dude holding the flag to the left hated it, and probably has no clue who the guy wearing a clock as a necklace is.
A song for now by Alfie Benge and Robert Wyatt. Alfie wrote it about a baby boy born in a cellar sheltering from bombing whose father had been born in a cellar during a bombing raid.
