Broadway Lafayette’s long-awaited debut album Subway Zydeco. 11 tracks according to the spirit of old, deep Louisiana black roots.
Subway Zydeco is an album full of new experiences for the band. Mick Collins (Gories/Dirtbombs) taps into his Louisiana roots in this new project. He was inspired by the black -creole Blues, the Zydeco whose roots go back to the 18th century. The music arose as a synthesis of traditional Creole music, some Cajun music influences, and African-American traditions, including R&B, blues, jazz, and gospel. Melodeon, accordion and French lyrics are still the foundation of Broadway Lafayettes’ music. But they are not their grandfathers’ — or even their fathers' - they mixed it with lots of rough energy.
Mick Collins teamed up with Matt Verta-Ray (Speedball Baby, Heavy Trash) Rocio Verta-Ray together with Mama Rosin,
the legendary wild Cajun Combat Outfit from Geneva Switzerland - Swiss Army knife players, distinctive and in the pocket.
They recorded on the fly, never doing a song the same way twice. That’s what gives Subway Zydeco its relentless energy - and with a band this killer, you’ve got to let them off the leash.
Release Date: 23 February 2018
