You are listening to the Love Crabs song: "victim of your innocense" (With Frank sitting in on penny whistle, and Alan Sinton on bass)
When I first met Ted Cho, Cliff Kamida, Kalea Chapman & Sean Coffey they were in a
band called the Love Crabs.
It's hard to describe without a photo
or a film of them coming up the street, how fantastic a sight they were:
in clothes that looked slept in - wrinkled and right, all boy slim and foxy - hair slicked and tostled
- smelling of coffee - thrift shop clothes & shoes with no socks - looking like sam shepard ...
Walking like they knew something you cloud never understand.
Ready to play a gig - like they'd been up talking and playing music all night
long the night before. They had the rock and roll joy of something like Joe Strummer and the 101'ers in them.
yeah - they inspired me. I was an instant fan.
I made my own love crabs t- shirt.... a white t-shirt with red ink
that said "I'm in love with the love crabs".
Over time we joined forces and traveled across the mainland playing on street corners in the troubadour caravan that
would become poi dog pondering.
