Just a stone’s throw away from Dan aka Withered Hand’s place lives Jesus H. Foxx’s singer Michael with his girlfriend. When we come over to their flat from Withered Hand, we first get seated in the kitchen for some more black tea till the other six band members Neil D., Neil I. Rich, Richie, Steve and Tallah arrive in dribs and drabs. They gather in the living room for improvising on some songs before they decide to perform “Return A Body” and “This Is Not A Rental Car” in a many-voiced way for us. They start off smooth and get more buoyant the later it gets. Neither bass nor drum would attract the attention of the cat that is drowsing beside the performers. Only the fact that someone among them is burping makes the kitty prick up its ears. But then the familiar vocals and rhythm get it doze off again. For reasons of warmth, cosiness and cheerfulness the jam session fills up the rest of the evening before we set out for the cold.
