The Too Bad Jims
Leytonstone Ex-Servicemens Club, E11 3DB , [Venue Details]The Too Bad Jims got their name after an RL Burnside album on Fat Possum titled "Too Bad Jim", and formed in January 2023 as a collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians Little Victor and Son Jack Jr.
They play a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. Their unique and unusual combination of dual vocals, dual guitars and rock-solid driving rhythm section delivers the kind of raw, hypnotic and gritty sound you’d expect to only hear in a North Mississippi juke joint. After a few months, they decided to add veteran drummer Nick Simonon from The Mighty Lo-Fi Kings to their duo and things started to really get cookin'.
After relocating to the London area from Seattle, WA, British-born American award-winning artist Son Jack Jr (an avid fan of this type of blues and especially RL Burnside) got in touch with multiple award-winning Little Victor Mac whom he had befriended since Victor's glory with Louisiana Red. The two men never met in person until only a few months ago but ever since their first jam, they sounded like they’d been playing together since day one. Little Victor (who moved to England in late 2014) has deep knowledge of this style of music and RL Burnside in particular. When he was younger, he played with RL Burnside Robert Belfour, Jessie Mae Hemphill and many other "backwater" artists from the Memphis/North Mississippi area.
