His Lordship emerged from lockdown in a blaze of boredom and frustration late last summer and promptly blew the roof off the main stage at Red Rooster Festival then The Moth Club in London a few days later. The new project from guitarist James Walbourne (The Pretenders, The Pogues, The Rails) and Kristoffer Sonne (The Pretenders, Willie Nelson), His Lordship is the sound of Walbourne unleashed as a frontman; a furious riot of raging guitar and perverted drums from another dimension. They released a live RocknRoll EP in December. After a long day of recording original songs, the boys decided to let loose. They kept the tape rolling and filmed a set of rock’n’roll tunes they like to play. They didn’t even rehearse them. What you hear is a first take 15 minute set of Stuff They Like. Gene Vincent, Jack Scott, Link Wray and The Killer. By the end of it His Lordship were reduced to a sweaty mess of cheap suits and hair pomade.
I went to see James Walbourne, Kris Sonne and Dave Page play in their band 'His Lordship', at the Moth Club, Hackney, in September. His Lordship is straight-ahead noisy rock'n'roll and reminded me of how much I miss seeing original loud music played by real musicians.
