The Jumpin’ Hot Club‘s Boss Sounds festival launch part two, featuring the brilliant, militant roots of Southall’s finest, Misty in Roots. Originally formed as the backing band for a UK tour by Jamaican vocalist Nicky Thomas, Misty made their name in the Rock Against Racism movement, and released their debut album Live at the Counter Eurovision in 1979. John Peel was a big fan, and the band recorded numerous Peel Sessions, as well as several albums with an increasingly African influence.
One of our favourite bands, Misty never fail to deliver a powerful and uplifting live show. With support from Stalawatt.
