Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express @ The Bully, Cowley Road, Oxford


After Dingwells and Islington Assembly Hall in London it was time to see CPATME in Oxford. A set of 105mins full of driving guitar solos from both Chuck and James De Prato, steadfastly held together by both Vicente Rodriguez on drums and Kevin White on bass, the odd sing along and Stephie Finch in the Linda McCartney role on keyboards and backing vocals. And of course the odd joke and banter from Chuck with the audience (and not all quite pc)
I forgot that he even had a cold which was evident from having to blow his nose. wish I could preform as good as that when I am not feeling brilliant.
Set List below but a mention for their version of Flaming Groovies's 'Shake Some Action' which I am reliably told by a affectionado of the song, was note perfect.

See Utube clip from gig taken right in front of where I was standing.

Thoroughly good gig. Thats how to entertain!
