– Baxter Dury – In Concert At Route du Rock 2014 – August 17, 2014 – Radio France/Le Mouv –
If the name Baxter Dury rings any bells with you, it’s probably because his dad was Ian Dury – as in Ian Dury and The Blockheads fame – of “Hit Me With You Rhythm Stick” fame – of New Boots And Panties fame. That Ian Dury.
Well, if you happen to have a copy of New Boots and Panties in your collection and you look at the cover photo of Ian standing in front of a shop window with a rather maladroit looking kid standing next to him – that’s Baxter.
Baxter’s all growed up. And one could say he’s a chip off the old block. Although you’d really have to give Baxter props for being the suave one in the family. He’s been around for a while, though not performing all that much since he got bitten by the performing bug around 2001. In 2002 he won NME’s Record Of The Week, and he has since signed a new label deal with PIAS and has a new album slated for release in October of this year, and an already sold-out gig in London in November.
Tonight though, it’s Baxter Dury in concert at Le Route du Rock 2014, recorded this past August 17. By the sound of the crowd, a lot of good buzz has been generated and there’s been a goodly amount of anticipation in the resumption of what sounds to be a promising career.
Have a listen for yourself.
And while you’re here . . .you know we don’t run ads – stopped running them more than a few years ago. The ads were noisy and pretty awful and they were a huge distraction, having to wade through a lot of useless barking in order to get to the good stuff. But we still have to pay the bills, and there’s a ton of them and they don’t like to wait. And so we ask you consider becoming a subscriber and support all the stuff we do every day by kicking in what amounts to being an Americano Grande every month to be part of the solution and not the problem. In todays bizarre economy it ain’t much – but it means a ton to Past Daily. All you have to do (and we make this as simple and pain-free as possible) is head over to Patreon (that red box just below that says “Become A Patron” that you click on) and check us out. You can do 7 days free just to kick the tires and take a test drive. And if you like us, hit the subscribe button and become part of our rather haywire little family. Not bad, considering we just want you to like us.
