Spent some of the week working with Little Roy and his crew prepping for the Jools Holland Show. What's amazing is how it's steadily grown from those late nights in Prince Fatty's Brighton studio to yesterdays epic broadcast. At its core, this is a versions project. And yet it's become more than that; it's now a thing all its own.
Miles Kane - who also performed that night - seemed totally shocked when Roy's band broke into Lithium. Given that they probably know the original inside-out, it must have been a revelation to see Roy and co. step up and claim this incredibly familiar song in that way.
We can talk for days about the similarities between the original Grunge scene and the world of Reggae which Roy inhabits and has helped pioneer. Alternatively we can simply check out this band and witness those parallels played out in style.
