about

The battle for little bohemia. April 20th to 22nd, 1934. Little bohemia lodge, Wisconsin, USA. FBI get wind Dillinger is holed up there resting before another bank job.
That's what the song's about. It's our best song to date. Balls to the wall rock 'n' roll, in and out, 2 mins 38 seconds of a journey into the 1930s.

We hope you like it.

R & A.

Written during a jam session in Loughborough UK on the 8th July 2022. The track had its live debut at the Eastbourne UK (vintage festival) on 27th and 28th August 2022.

lyrics

Annie said just go leave the light on baby
Tommy’s standing guard down the hall.
Dillinger van meter are hold up card side,
Baby face is back by the wall.

The battle for bohemia’s starting brightly,
Purvis and his gang rolling in,
Wanatka and his cronies are whispering over
The strange man in the corner with gin.

The battle for bohemia will be unholy,
Johnnie’s gang remain unaware.
Hoover orders G men to ride in slowly,
Who said thieving ever was fair?

The battle for bohemia’s starting brightly,
Purvis and his gang rolling in,
Wanatka and his cronies are whispering over
The strange man in the corner with gin.

Annie said just go leave the light on baby
Tommy’s standing guard down the hall.
Dillinger van meter are hold up card side,
Baby face is back by the wall.

The battle for bohemia’s starting brightly,
Purvis and his gang rolling in,
Wanatka and his cronies are whispering over
The strange man in the corner with gin.
(oh come on!)
