During the rework, Etwell found himself reflecting on fond memories with his old college roommate, James Bush, who was an astute lover of Latin music. He recalls Bush, who has sadly passed, as being a rich and cosmic character who lived life to the fullest, possessing a one-of-a-kind way with words. “Shmingle bangle” was a common term in his nonsensical vernacular and the song serves as a warm tribute to him. The track features Snowboy, renowned London-based percussionist, DJ, bandleader, and journalist lending his talents on percussion.
Soho Filth finds the band coming full circle from their formative years where they started out playing shows in a basement off Kingly Court, deep in the heart of London’s Soho. Here, 20 years later, they return to another Soho basement, the noted Dean St Studios, to record a live record.
The Filthy Six will be performing at the legendary Pizza Express in London on November 11, 2021. The show serves as a celebration of the release of Soho Filth in addition to a pre-party for London Jazz Festival.
The Filthy Six are the most exciting, authentic Soul Jazz outfit in the UK today and have established themselves as one of the most electric live acts on the scene. Their soaring horns, blistering guitar and gut-wrenching Hammond are fuelled by one of the hardest grooving rhythm sections around producing a hip-shakingly powerful mixture of jazz, funk and boogaloo totally in keeping with the finest traditions of the Blue Note sound. These instrumental groove merchants fuse boundless energy and incredible musicianship to create tight, funky music that moves the mind, body and soul whilst simultaneously tearing the roof off every venue they play
