The fourth release on Andy Bellwood's Last Bastion Records pairs a
couple of sides by Aussie band Dojo Cuts from Sydney who
feature vocalist Roxie Ray (aka Sasha Imrich).
The first is a 2020 digital only single, the atmospheric and haunting "Ain't Got No Reason" which wouldn't be out of place in the movie Pulp Fiction!
The flip is from their debut eponymous Record Kicks album from 2009 and
is a take on Stevie's 1966 Motown/Northern Soul stormer "Uptight"
but not as you would know it as it's in more of a 60s garage style.
The label bowed in with the 2005 version of Lou Pride's Northern Soul
monster "I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un" with the full album version and a shorter edit. Suemi 1970 originals
are still as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth.
Dojo cuts were formed in 2008 and have, to date, released three albums,
the first two for Record Kicks (which now sell for quite big bucks on
vinyl) and the third self-released. In addition they have released a dozen
or more singles including a few for Colemine. Daptone maestro Gabriel Roth is a fan of the band and wrote the liner notes for their first album.
So, "Uptight" is only available on vinyl via their expensive debut album
and "Ain't Got No Reason" has never been issued on vinyl until now, so you can snare the pair on
limited edition 7" vinyl from Last Bastion via
Detour Records where they are available now.
