busted/set me free

A 2 track funk single (6m 3s) — released May 3rd 2010 on Hope Street Recordings

From the bowels of an abandoned textiles factory in Brunswick, beneath a sign that advertises a long-defunct karate school, comes the second fully kicking release from HopeStreet Recordings, 'Busted' b/w 'Set Me Free', by The PutBacks, available as a 7' 45 and in digital format. Once you'll hear this 45 you will radiate a 'super nice vibe'. Hope Street's Bobzilla and Tristan Ludowyk teamed up with the inimitable powerhouse rhythm combination The PutBacks bringing to you: A-Busted 'I'm so Busted. I'm Busted' (repeat) .. and then you say.. 'Me, Oh, My!' (repeat) It's so simple. You can interpret this bubblin' funky gem anyway you funkin' please. It's got a catchy hook, a hard swinging groove, one of the baddest breakdowns you'll hear in 2010 and then you get to sing-a-long, chant-style like an army of footballers. Funky footballers.. B-Set Me Free The PutBacks re-work the classic track from Ray Davies and The Kinks, 'Set Me Free'. Re- work..? It's a re-invention. The bass and drums drive this baby coast-to-coast, the organ and horns offer spurts of steam, releasing the heat as Tom Martin's guitar simmers away that big chunk of melted butter. Now that's a tasty ride. All aboard!! The PutBacks came into formation in 2007 after years as a backing band for Kate Ceberano. The PutBacks have performed as part of PBS 106.7 fm Live Music Week (2008/9), at Melbourne's premier funk night 'Soul-A-Go-Go', Falls Festival Lorne and have opened for Australian premier funk outfit The Bamboos as well as 'The Menahan Street Band featuring Charles Bradley' during their Australian tour in 2009. The PutBacks instrumental funk-killer-floor-filler 'The Diamond Cutter', released March 2009 as a split 7' 45 on Hope Street Recordings, has received healthy rotation on Australian, US and UK radio, featured on Canadian DJ Double K's 'The New Funk Mix' available at www.parkdalefunk.com and profiled on DJ Prestige's blog page www.djprestige.net. The PutBacks strengths are a deep funky groove with a raw, melodic sound.
