Boots For Dancing

The mantra was ‘do it for yourselves,’ just get out there and give it a bash – in reality everyone was a star although it was more like everyone was an anti-star. In an almost mythic turn of events, one day a friend showed Dave Carson a list of band names which included Boots For Dancing. That very same night Carson and three of his chums pitched up as last-minute support for a featured band. The first name that came into his head when he had to introduce the band was Boots For Dancing.

Inspired from that live onstage jolt, the group began rehearsing in earnest, churning out The Troggs-style (“Wild Thing”) primitive garage rock. The group’s feature song “Boots For Dancing” was an early standout anchored down by a New Orleans second line pulse. Upon hearing this unique pairing of punky snarl with a rarefied groove, Bob Last of Pop Aural called Dave Carson and suggested the group make a 12” single of the track.

“That sort of shaped the direction we would travel along: punky but funky,” Carson.
