"The last couple of years have seen the
welcome return of live music to the dance scene and club-goers
have found the added presence of real musicians behind the grooving
rhythms a real bonus. The ingredients are fairly straightforwards
- tight and punchy playing, perhaps some blaring brass, a bit of
showmanship, energy and taste. There's an emerging scene of bands
that get the recipe just right and Bristol-based Smerins Anti-Social
Club are one of the finest. Originally launched by a residency
at Southampton's Talking Heads club, their big band format developed
a sound that pulled ska, funk, reggae and drum'n'bass together
into a seriously hip-shaking fusion delivered relentlessly to a
very crowded dancefloor. It was too big a sound to stay local,
however, and the last two years saw them move to Bristol and begin
touring nationally and doing the festival circuit ..... They're
heading for Fiddlers right now - and they definitely mean business!"
