e"'REASONS TOGOSEE

SAVE Aficsfit ‘1 He’s a rockabilly punk trash country delta blues maniac. From Scotland Arcari is a one- man musical whirlwind. thrashing his metal-bodied National acoustic guitar and producing some seriously fucked up gravelly bottleneck blues mojo with gargantuan coiones and big fuck-oft tattoos.

:2 He’s in league with our national poet In 2007 Arcari was asked to put music to Robert Burns' ‘Parcel of Rogues’ tor a BBC Scotland special. He also happened to host the entire show. interviewing musicians. politicians and historians into the bargain. Rock'n'roll!

:1; He’s got musician fans Seasick Steve says he “plays like he‘s got his skin turned inside out‘. He’s also been specifically asked to be tour support for the likes of Alabama 3 and Jon Spencer in the past.

He’ll come to your house He will. really. For a small fee he'll turn up and play at a party in your house. Or, if education is more your style, he'll conduct a bottleneck slide guitar blues masterclass. Get that Bud down ya and get playing! Failing that. he'll cook you a breakfast burrito. (OK. maybe not. but he‘s got a recipe on his website which looks pretty damned tasty.) He’s in Radiohead Sorry, we mean Radiotones. the alternative blues combo Arcari fronts when he’s got a spare minute. a band who happen to be shit hot and have three acclaimed albums under their belts.
