“Jonathan, resplendent tonight in Bacofoil shirt, is a dark-eyed cowboy Valentino who knocks off the sleaziest swamp-funk riffs ever, as in the epic “Duchess”, a sweaty, drunken f*** of a tune if ever there was one.

Tonight you can feel the hot breath of one mean beast and hear the noise that’s in its belly. Boss Hog are thunderous dirty desire, seven shades of heavy shit.” – Sharon O’Connell / NME

“The gold lamé shirt and Ching guitar signified the arrival of the Pussy Galore inspired Boss Hog experience. After an indeterminable time the ‘Goddess of latter-day noise rock arrived on stage, inspiring a new wage of audience participation-positive this time. The lurching romping and grinding roll began as Boss Hog cruised through the back catalogue of sleazed rockabilly-inspired thrash.

Like a bass hungry Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, spewed out their strange brew.
Good drinking it was.” – Seb / Felix fanzine

Nothing Can Bring Me Down is a cover of a song by The Twilighters, released as a 7″ single (also covered by Pussy Galore on Live: In The Red).
