Tank Music Sessions: "Poor Born" by Joe Gideon and the Shark
Brother and sister duo Joe Gideon & the Shark are next to take the centre stage for Radio Tank Live. These musical siblings first came into our orbit with their beat-fuelled debut Harum Scarum back in 2009. There's the handsome Joe Gideon, who channels the aura of a modern-day beatnik as he takes the listener on journeys of adventurous mishap with wry wit and charm. Switching between his guitar and bass, he produces foot stomping punk/garage/bluesy riffs. Then we have the mesmerising Viva, otherwise known as The Shark, who drives each track with her drumming, multi-instrumentalist skills and backing vocals. An inspiration of artistry and grace, she also incorporates rhythmic dance moves that make her drumming style like no other, a nod to her days as an Olympic ribbon dancer.
The quirky curators of the See Hear Club invited us to Chats Palace in London’s East End to film the pair in session performing “Poor Born” off of their new albumFreakish.
