When Big Sandy pointed out Peter of the Swedish rock-a-billy trio The Go-Getters, I knew he was not there to merely be a tourist. For years I hoped to see his combo and checked the internet. Sure enow, there was an upcoming show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood.
They were not the headlining act. But they were the one that I made the most effort to hear and see. I was not disappointed.
Afterwards, when I spoke with him, he told that the EU had not made the radio in Europe better for diversity but worse for the home bands like his. An odd thing, but not too unlike what has happened in the USA. If commercial radio was truly free in its boasting about how adventurous it is, The Go-Getters would have been spun on it by now.
