Spannered Oddcast #13 - Nam Shub's Spannered Sitars

Published: Oct. 9, 2011, 11 p.m.

Loosen your tie and get down to half an hour of Bollywood oddities and sitar-fuelled strangeness (with nods to Britney, Herbie Hancock and Nancy Sinatra) from Phill Thomson, aka the Nam Shub of Enki. Nam Shub has released a slew of solo recordings since the '90s, as well as producing for and performing with Brisbane's riotous cabaret supergroup Monster Zoku Onsomb! and new MZO splinter project Hi Freqs. He's currently roaming about Europe, sculling bottles of Belgian beer and playing outrageous live sets of mashed electronics at people in anticipation of the release of his sixth album, due out soon on Australia's Retort Records.
