1) Medicine Show was the electronic duo, Leif Olsen and Isaias Centeno.
2) After cutting out halfway through a Babyshambles support tour in late 2008, Medicine Show re-laced their boots, took a trip to the pharmacist, followed the storm and reformed in August 2009 in that fiery place where beat writing and 50s pop rock'n'roll combine.
Rejecting cross-legged acoustic fumblings in favour of rockabilly guitars and swirling hipster organs, the new line up of Johnny Moriarty, Jonah Hardy (cousins of Romany gypsy decent), Alice and Louis The King sold 1000 copies of their self-recorded debut single 'Trouble Trouble' in just three weeks, firmly establishing Medicine Show as one of London's hottest new groups.
Walking like Bo Diddley over roads alive with fire, Medicine Show's sound is a fog of crumbling field hollers and subterranean beatnik spirit - a music full of put-down swagger and chains of flashing images that recall Buddy Holly or Eddie Cochran in all their raging glory.
