This is a recording from the launch of Uncle Nearest Premium Tennessee Whiskey at Deus Ex Machina in Harajuku.
A loose, rock-leaning set built for the room rather than a single lane. Moving through early rock & roll, blues, soul and garage, with cuts from Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Thin Lizzy, and The Modern Lovers, alongside deeper pulls like Maki Asakawa, Mink DeVille and Link Wray.
It’s a mix of familiar and off-centre selections, paced for a night that started easy and gradually opened up.
