Witnessing Bob Log live is unmissa ble!\n\n\n\nBy rights BOB LOG III should be a punk blues stadium super sta r. He takes to the stage with his face masked in a crash helmet with a bla ck visor and a telephone wired in it for a mic and wearing a blue jump sui t. Bob then unleashes a torrent of hardcore Mississippi Delta blues\, hip hop beats and punk rock. The crash helmet telephone distorts the vocals an d his hands\, arms\, legs and feet become a blur of jump suit clad limbs a s he plays slide\, triggers drum machines and drums with his feet simultan eously.\n\nBob Log’s identity and history is shrouded in mystery and rum our\, probably helped by his stage get up and also when his record company Fat Possum put out an early press release claiming Log had a monkey’s p aw grafted on to his wrist after a boating accident as a child. Here’s a n excerpt....."When Bob Log III was a child\, he lost his left hand in a b oating accident. It was soon replaced with a monkey paw\, and a new guitar style was born. 'It's my own personal style\, see\,' Log says\, 'the paw moves much quicker than a normal hand\, so my real hand has to flop around a lot to compensate.'" When asked to explain Fat Possum’s insistence th at his right hand is a monkey’s paw\, Log replied to an interviewer that \, “My hand is just hairy. Very\, very hairy. It is NOT a PAW. Fat Possu m was drunk.” Log further clarified the monkey paw myth in an interview with Bizarre Magazine: "I've got all my limbs. It's just that when I'm pla ying my guitar my hand moves so fast it looks like a monkey paw\, a hairy paw. My hand moves really fast. Faster than a normal human hand”\n\nIn f act Bob Log III was born in Tucson\, Arizona and is a virtuoso slide playe r who plays with extremely thick strings tuned very loose that gives him h is unique “floppy” sound. Growing up\, Log listened to artists such as Chuck Berry\, Bo Diddley and AC/DC\, later commenting that "That's what r ock'n'roll is to me. You take a guitar\, turn it up and have a good time …everyone else can go listen to Pearl Jam if they want to.” Bob Log go t his first guitar at the age of 11\, and by the age of 16 he had become s mitten with Delta Blues\, modelling his slide guitar style on that of Miss issippi Fred McDowell. Log began his music career recording with Mondo Gua no\, a four-piece metal-blues band based in Arizona. Upon leaving Mondo Gu ano\, Log went on to perform as one-half of seminal early Delta punk blues duo Doo Rag. Bob Log III was born when Bob was in the middle of a US tour with Doo Rag and his drummer quit. With necessity \, ever the mother of i nvention\, Bob donned a helmet he had picked up in a thrift store\, took t o the stage and kicked his guitar case for percussion and thus the legend of Bob Log was born. Bob Log eventually found his spiritual home on maveri ck Mississippi blues label Fat Possum in 1998 and released a trio of class ic records: School Bus\, Trike and Log Bomb.\n\nIn this current world of h omogenised and mass marketed music\, we need true mavericks like Bob Log I II more than ever.\n\nWeb: www.boblog111.com + www.facebook.com/boblogiii\ n\n*********************************************************************** *****************************\n\nAbout the promoters:\n\nEstablished in 20 08\, STAY SICK\, is a Brighton institution when it comes to throwing parti es\, promoting shows\, club nights and DJing all things trash\, punk\, sur f\, garage\, psych\, blues\, and rock n roll!\n\nHaving put on such greats as Thee Oh Sees\, Billy Childish and the MBEs\, Jon Spencer Blues Explosi on\, Kid Congo &\; the Pink Monkey Birds\, 5\,6\,7\,8s\, No Bunny\, Eig hties Matchbox B-line Disaster\, The Bellrays\, The Fleshtones\, The Scien tists\, Los Straightjackets\, The Dead Brothers\, Daddy Long Legs and Mono tonix to name just a few.\n\nSTAY SICK has made it their mission to track down\, kidnap and present you with the best bands from around the world!\n \nhttps://www.facebook.com/staysickbrighton/\n\n************************** ************************************************************************** \n\nThe venue:\n\nThe Hope &\; Ruin is a pub and live venue on two floo rs.\n\nAll evening live show attendees must be 18 years old +.\n\nThe Hope &\; Ruin runs a 'safe space' policy and any form of discrimination tow ards its staff and customers will not be tolerated.\n\nAccess: There is on e step to get into the building via the main entrance and two steps to get down to gain access to the main bar on the ground floor.
