Retro Saturday: The Mock Turtles

I’m kicking off with an early 90s vibe tonight....I loved that "Madchester" sound and all the bands that followed in the footsteps of the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. "Can You Dig It" was the biggest hit for the Mock Turtles (and later got a re-release thanks to its use in a mobile phone ad). Fascinating fact: frontman Martin Coogan was the brother of the slightly-more-famous northern comedian/actor Steve Coogan. Here’s "Can You Dig It": http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sGSHIidlesQ
