Blitz Vega - Northern Gentlemen
Northern Gentlemen is the tale of two men.
One is the legendary Andy Rourke, the iconic Smiths bassist – whose dexterous musicianship powered the likes of ‘Barbarism Begins At Home’ and ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’ (to name but two) – was cruelly taken last year.
His image adorns the cover of this album, a tribute to the work and effort he summoned to finish as much of it as he could before his passing.
The other is Kav Sandhu, himself a musician with a storied career with stints in Happy Mondays and co-creator of the Get Loaded club night and festival. For more than a half a decade, Blitz Vegaa has been his sole focus.
