Black Slipper plunge headlong into the choppy waters of 2020 with a couple of mutant-rockabilly bangers.
The Rightener is about an entrepreneurial demon draining off the silty build-ups of angst, unease and disquiet from the minds of the slumbering bourgeoisie and selling them as decadent intoxicants to third world street dwellers whose own worries, based on the more mundane and pressing concerns of food, shelter and day to day survival, leave them little time or inclination to cultivate the kind of self-indulgent existential misgivings which haunt the privileged.
Bang It Out is about banging it out.
