Hot Shot

Exciting offshoot project from August Darnell (Kid Creole And The Coconuts) from 1983; with bonus tracks – a must for all ‘80s Pop and Dance fans. Elbow Bones And The Rackateers deliver a delightful fusion of 1940’s-esque big band and ‘80s dance beats the likes of which had never been heard before on its original release. Featuring lyricist Debbie Clarkin and Frank ‘Pago Pago’ Passalacqua – lead singer with Gichy Dan. Plus additional musicians including the Coconuts’ Carol Coleman, Ken Fradely and Lee Robertson. Originally released in 1983 after August notced up UK Top 10 hits with the singles ‘I’m A Wonderful Thing (Baby)’, ‘Stool Pigeon’ and ‘Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy’ in 1982. The last of which came from his UK #3 album ‘Tropical Gangsters’. ‘A Night In New York’ was the album’s first single and was a big airplay hit in the UK. The single spent five weeks in the Top 40 in early 1984 as well as reaching #24 in the Dance charts in the States. With sleevenotes featuring an exclusive new interview with August Darnell.
