NEW VINYL LP ON ACID JAZZ 2011. It’s an interesting time for Acid Jazz to be releasing Hipsters 2 as we seem to be at something of a crossroads when it comes to ‘mod’ bands. Bands have always been part of the mod scene, whether that was British acts reinterpreting soul and R&B tunes in the 60s or bands formed by kids who were part of the mod revival in the late 70s and into the 80s. But in the recent past, the shadow of Paul Weller, that previous mod revival and all too often, the Small Faces, has loomed large, leaving a scene that on the one hand, is about crate digging for rare soul and R&B, dancing to said tunes and spending big on clobber, but on the other, has mod bands consisting of blokes in their 30s and 40s with Paul Weller hairdos re-hashing All Or Nothing (no offence intended to anyone, by the way).
