The Dirtbombs Cover Shari Vari

Heard about this cover of A Number Of Names' Shari Vari a couple of weeks ago. Trepidation and plain fear set in. Especially as it transpired that The Dirtbombs have a whole album out of garage takes on Detroit classics. The stench of gimmick was overpowering.

But this morning I decided to hunt it out. What was waiting for me was a rather faithful cover, adding a bit of scratchy guitar but not taking much away. Frankly, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Now when is someone going to do a punk-funk cover of Danny Boy & The Serious Gods' Castro Boy?
