Bobby Lee – Endless Skyways album launch
02/07/2023 KC
- Americana
- Choogle
- Krautrock
Cosmic journeyman Bobby Lee trades in a wide screen brand of cosmic country-folk, full of space and pawn shop guitars. There are touches of JJ Cale’s analogue Americana, the swampy groove of Tony Joe White and Richard Thompson’s sinewy, modal guitar work. Amps hum in the warm afternoon sun, kids and dogs snooze on the grass and broken drum machines keep time with the universe…
Bobby released his debut album, Shakedown in Slabtown, in August 2020, on his own Natural Histories imprint, which Mojo Magazine described as “word of mouth sensation amongst discerning heads.”
Now we celebrate the launch of his new album 'Endless Skyways' with an afternoon session at Spiritland - expect Country Funk, Kosmiche Americana, Yacht Rock, Psych Folk and Low-Slung Choogle.

Get ready for another night of the purest musical pleasure in Lisbon. After the wonder that was our warehouse party with Bill Brewster and crew last month, we return to beautiful Lisboa with another musical icon - the peerless Maurice Fulton (Bubbletease Communications) supported by Trol2000.

Rhythmic, melodic, hypnotic, psychedelic - his unique touch as a producer has seen him work under aliases Mu, Boof and Syclops and collaborations with artists including Roisin Murphy and Mim Suleiman - as well as releasing a stream of consistently excellent music on his own Bubbletease Communications label.
He's supported by Trol2000. For over 20 years Lisbon-based Rodrigo aka Trol2000 has been dedicating much of his time to his passion for sound and music whilst sharing his knowledge and dedication either as a DJ or since 2017 also in his record store Peekaboo Records.
The party runs from 10pm to 5am, and just 300 tickets are available via the link - book your flights, tell your friends and we'll see you on the dancefloor.
