The Go! Team unveil new release, "Junior Kickstart (Los Bitchos Rework)"

1 month ago 18



To celebrate 20 years since The Go! Team’s classic album, Thunder, Lightning, Strike, the band have asked a range of artists they love and admire to remix tracks from the album. Following on from the likes of Cornershop, Louie Zong, lilien rosarian and CV Vision who have already tackled album favourites, next up is London-based fourpiece Los Bitchos who provide a psychedelic guitar driven take on "Junior Kickstart".

Speaking on the track, band leader Ian Parton said: “Gotta love reworks that are so unmistakably that band. It’s like "Junior Kickstart" has been reflected from Los Bitchos’ mirror -you can pick up motifs from the song, but they are refracted through their distinct cumbia, afrobeat, surf twang. It’s like you know it but can’t quite put your finger on where from.”

The remixes will continue to be released throughout 2024, culminating in a run of shows in the UK and US in Autumn and a newly announced hometown show at Brighton’s Corn Exchange on 9 December to close out the year’s celebrations. These shows will see the band play the album in full, front to back.

The 20th anniversary reissue of Thunder, Lightning, Strike, is set for release on 13 September via Memphis Industries. For more information, visit thegoteam.co.uk.
