The Baroni Blow-Up

I Wanna ft. Shy But Flyy 7″

Rocknroll connoisseurs The Hillbilly Moon Explosion dont rest on their laurels! Oliver Baroni, stand-up bassist and co-vocalist has a new side-project with a flexible group of musicians, under the moniker The Baroni Blow-Up. In keeping with the Englishmans worldwide viewpoint from his base in Switzerland, its an international affair.

The band-members are American, though two of them were found in London guitarist Andy Kandil, a session favourite and veteran of psychobilly legends Mad Sin amongst others, and drummer Tuck Nelson, who also co-engineered recordings in his London studio. On vocals is Shy But Flyy, the celebrated blues and jazz singer from Long Beach, CA. The A-side song I Wanna is an obscure punk song original by Berlin band Hot Boogie Chilean; the flip Free is a Shy But Flyy original. And the singles artwork originated in Spain.
