DADDY LONGLEGS & THE SWAMP DONKEYS UNVEIL DEBUT EP ‘GUT BUTTER’ (OUT NOW) + NEW RAMBUNCTIOUS SINGLE ‘SHAKE YOU UP’ Hot on the hooves of their recent debut single ‘Salty Sea Dog’ (as heard on Double J), the inimitable Daddy Longlegs & the Swamp Donkeys today unveil their debut EP ‘Gut Butter’. Recorded by the shores of the Tumbi Umbi swamp, the 4-piece explored every nook of Magic Cottage Studios, with Ryan Hazell (DMAs, The Fumes, The Drones) saddling up on the Producer throne. Highlighted by the rambunctious new single ‘Shake You Up’, the 5-track EP is a journey through blues/rock/funk/rambles - led by the howling, leg-swinging, auburn vagabond known as Daddy Longlegs (aka Aaron Houston). He can be heard growling his ‘Gut Butter Blues’ throughout the urban forest, stepping in sync together with his loyal Swamp Donkeys Felix Akurangi (Bass), Jay McKay (Harmonica) and Steve de Wilde (Drums). Their journey so far has taken them to various festivals and venues throughout the distant corners of Australia, winning the Perisher Peak Festival competition for undiscovered treasure and sold out performances at the Manly Fig, The Shack along with their recent shows as part of The Great Southern Nights Series and festival appearances at Illawarra Folk Festival, Love Culburra Festival and Manly Jazz Festival. Renowned for their unpredictable and raucous live show, DLSD will put their wagon on the road for 2021 shows once the stranglehold of COVID releases its grip. In the meantime enjoy their debut EP on vinyl, CD and digital platforms, and keep an ear out for the howling sounds of DLSD as they stomp through a town near you. ‘GUT BUTTER’ EP OUT NOW ‘SHAKE YOU UP’ - NEW SINGLE
