The Mules compile their mates, head on tour
By: Thomas Hannan
Pick Your Own was a free to enter gig night run at the Big Chill House in Kings Cross, London by The Mules. They used it to play shows with their mates. Thing is, The Mules' mates, not to mention The Mules themselves, are a pretty talented bunch. Soon, Pick Your Own became something of an institution, and this new CD of the same name compiles some of the bands who played it on one handy disk. It's released unto the world on October 22nd, and the tracklisting - which contains many exclusive tracks - runs as follows:
1. This Is Your Life - The Mules (exclusive)
2. A Child Lost In Tesco - Eugene McGuinness
3. Hello Hello - Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit (exclusive)
4. Say - Left With Pictures (exclusive)
