The Mascot Label Group recently signed Dutch Psychedelic Blues trio DeWolff, a band formed in the Netherlands’ Deep South of Geleen as teenagers in 2007 by singer/guitarist Pablo van de Poel, brother/drummer Luka van de Poel and Hammond organist Robin Piso. They’re an old soul in a young body, transporting the listener back into the swirling psychedelia drenched Blues of the mid-60's. The trio combine an eccentric mixture of inexhaustible energy, great musicianship, contagious enthusiasm and a play-like-it’s-your-last-show-mentality that have seen them light a trail across Europe selling out headline shows, playing festivals such as Pinkpop, Lowlands, Reeperbahn, Rockpalast, Sziget and pick up prestigious support slots with Deep Purple and The Black Keys.

Certified LA guitar legend Michael Landau has unveiled the first track, 'We're Alright' (Video Of The Day), from his upcoming new album 'Rock Bottom', which will be out on Friday 23rd February via Mascot Label Group/Provogue. Michael Landau has surrounded himself with familiar faces from his past - longtime collaborator David Frazee (Burning Water) on vocals and lyrics that can only be called poetry, his brother Teddy Landau (Raging Honkies) on superlative bass (which should end up on some future top ten lists), Larry Goldings on organ, and Alan Hertz playing drums, and their familiarity gives this album an incredible sense of timing and cohesion. There are myriad twists and turns, and the record unfolds to reveal exotic sounds and feelings, but it’s so well composed and performed that it is like taking a sonic, spiritual vacation!

Today's Blues On The Marsh Track Of The Day, originally broadcast on Friday night, includes music from Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Dan Burnett, Paul Cox, Otis Redding, Vintage Trouble (pictured) and more.
