Tom Allalone and the 78s perform 'Case Is Closed' for The Crypt Sessions

-----------------------

Time to sharpen your quiffs, dust off the old leathers and start revving your Nortons. This week we had a welcome visit from Gravesends finest, Tom Allalone and the 78s, whose album Major Sins Pt I has been receiving rave reviews since its release in May.

The first thing that struck us about Tom and the boys was a lingering whiff of sex, Swarfega, Brylcream and danger, quickly followed by the heady realisation that this lot are one of the finest, sleaziest, booziest rockabilly bands this side of 1958. But dont take our word for it. Heres what The Times had to say about them:

This impeccably dressed troupe plays blisteringly energetic and classic rocknroll (think Elvis Costello and The Attractions covering Billy Fury by way of The Godfathers), and does it very well indeed too. 

By the way, for those of you who werent paying attention in class, Tom-All-Alones was the name of an ungodly slum in Charles Dickenss Bleak House. If youve ever been to Gravesend, youll appreciate the significance.
