Indeed, it's a very special 'Hot Date' given they don't get out as often as they would like, as all five members are always busy on many side projects, both recording/session wise and other live commitments, therefore it's really one not to be missed!

By way of tribute to Matt Long, today's Podcast Of The Day revisits the day that Matt and Paul Long went into Richard Dunning's Blues On The Radio studio back in January 2016, for Matt's first ever live radio interview that took place prior to Catfish's gig at Coulsdon's The Tuesday Night Music Club for their EP launch of 'When B.B. Sings The Blues'.

Combining elements of Blues-Rock, Country and Heavy Metal, Hammer Horror meets Spaghetti Western in the form of new hard rocking band FangSlinger, and their debut single, 'The Lost Souls Saloon', released earlier this month, that not only tells the story of three immortal outlaws from the Old West on the hunt for souls, but it's also today's Video Of The Day. Comprising lead vocalist FangSlinger, Hangman Frost (guitar/backing vocals) and BloodRose (backing vocals/keys/percussion), each member of this trio has their own dark story and reason for joining the quest, making their performances more than just music but a theatrical experience.
