From the dead cold misted nights of Manchester, the smoke hazed bars of late night Germany, to the wind lashed fishing docks of Japan’s furious coast, Multi-instrumentalist Billy LaBek has has forged his first solo album, Garage Gun Harmonica, from the wrought iron depths of a manically lived experience. An eclectic driftwood of wrangled up Americana leaves no tone unturned. Wether Sittin’ loose by a River brook, or traversing a strange new city within the dark heart of its ominous night, Billy LaBek’s ear has got you covered.

Dream Rider
1. 2 packs of German Ernte 22 cigarettes, the kind they smoked in the war, with glass ashtray.

2. A Small fuzzed out television you gotta smack with your fist, showing the film – To Have and Have Not – with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall

3. A bottle of French Picon.

4. A case of French lager for the Picon.

5. A poster of Hemingways fishing boat, Pilar, at sea.

6. 1 smoked trout, Wild Brown, Large.

7. A baseball Mit, with ball.

8. A Honky Tonk

9. An array of wooden furniture, one being a vanity piece, so I can watch myself smoke the German cigarettes.

10. Several Variegata ficus plants, with watering can, cause the room aint ventilated.
