Gordon Wedderburn will playing brand new Pigbag tracks – “Disco Mammal” and “Alpaca Hat” in his ‘Jazz Moods’ programme on Generation Radio – Wednesday 2nd November 7 – 9 pm (Repeated Sunday 1pm).
The show might feature a couple of old Pigbag tracks as well.
Update: Unfortunately none of the Pigbag track materialised on the show. My apologies to anyone who tuned in and was disappointed. Let’s hope they’ll be in a later show.
Following the inclusion of “Sleepwalking” on the last Art of the 12 Inch compilation, ZTT are to unleash Instinct’s previously unreleased “Swamp Down’ (12” Mix)” on a second volume, imaginatively entitled “Art of the 12 Inch Volume 2”.
The CD is out on 20th February 2012, a full track listing can be found at the bottom of this Holy Moly posting.
The postponed Pigbag gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam has now been re-arranged for 8pm on 15th October.

Unfortunately Mark Jay Smith (bass) has left Pigbag. He had other commitments which made it impossible for him to be dedicated to the band. Sorry to see him go, (as one ‘nam veteran to another – thats chelt’nam) but understand. We have booked Sven Atterton for Amsterdam and if he is able to school himself in the ways of the bag he will be permanent.
Pigbag have announced more dates, this time in the Netherlands & Birmingham. June 2nd at the Paradiso in Amsterdam.
(Update 2nd June: The Paradiso gig has now been postponed)
The Birmingham gig is part of the Mostly Jazz Festival and is on Sunday 3rd July 2011 at 3.00pm
Here’s a video from YouTube of the new band doing “Papa’s…”
The same person has a few other vids from the night:
I’ll try to write some more about the gig, but it was good to meet Ollie and Chris afterwards, as well as former Pigbaggers Jim and Chip who were in the audience. The band played three old Pigbag songs, Papa’s…, Sunny Day and Brazil Nuts as well as quite a few new songs.
Chris Lee has uploaded a couple of photos of the new Pigbag line up to the Pigbag Facebook page.
