The Mules
The Mules are 5 electrobillies from Oxford. The Mules began in a basement underneath a chapel in Oxford, where Tim and Ed bashed out songs by The Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers on piano and drums. They wanted to be in a country band, and first attempts to make one created a sprawling eight-piece orchestra of trumpets, mandolins, double bass and other odd things. Early recordings sounded like a really angry Salvation Army band, and no-one ever really knew what was going on. Time has passed. Electrobilly understands that country music is sick at heart, and that it dances and drinks to escape itself because it's no good at concealing its feelings. The Mules enjoy both kinds of music: country and western.
