J Nowicki has been my favourite guitar player since we were both 15 years old at the Blue Note Cafe in Winnipeg… & it’s taken over 15 years for me to get over my initial fear, which has only subsided into a tingling sort of awe. The Perps’ commitment to the things they have loved (& mastered) since they were kids, is a template for what every artist should endeavour to achieve. Ironically it’s their dedication to the traditional elements of blues, country music, & dirty rock & roll, that, combined with just the inevitable doses of ingenuity & personality, makes them possibly the most honest & unique band I’ve ever heard. In this arena, there is no other band that I know who can touch them.
