Alvin Spetz aka That Will Be Lunch announces release of Play That Funky Music White Boy/Discarded Things on Scratchy Records on Record Store Day, Friday June 19th

“Indie-lounge digi-pop that has the making of this year’s cult model.” MOJO

Alvin Spetz (aka That Will Be Lunch) has already been compared to the likes of The Fall, Edwyn Collins, Devo and Wire (by the Sunday Times) and with the release of the superb art-pop cover of Wild Cherry’s ‘Play That Funky Music White Boy’ he’s likely to add both The Residents and (an albeit dancified) Denim to that illustrious list. Released as a double A side together with Discarded Things (which was presumably too weirdly contemporary to release on NME’s C86 cassette compilation), the release will be made available on 7’ colored vinyl and via download on Scratchy Records from Friday June 19th 2020.

Maverick Spetz - not his real name, his real name’s Alvin (ha!) - has released two albums as Full English Breakfast - “a highly eccentric but thoroughly engaging electronic pop debut that aligns him with the Fall and Frank Zappa” (Uncut) - and another as TWBL on Scratchy Records and has been compared to everyone from Yello to Frank Zappa and Stereolab. Play That Funky Music White Boy is an inspired and outlandish Year Zero reimagining of that 1970s disco classic that firmly places itself alongside The Fall’s unorthodox cover of Sister Sledge’s Lost In Music – but with added cuckoo clocks.

Praise for Alvin Spetz:

“If Beefheart had a senior moment and reformed his Magic Band to perform S Club covers it might sound something like this. Genuinely esoteric and obscure, it would make a superb addition to Rough Trade’s late-‘70s roster.” The Guardian.

“It pulls together the sound of The Fall, Edwyn Collins, Devo and Wire, Seriously good.” Sunday Times.

“Some weird shit – with a sort of Fall-like panache.” Artrocker.

“Bathed in a languid ambience full of melodic surprises and accomplished harmonies, it tweaks memories of everyone from Yello to Stereolab.” Uncut.

“Fine and unfathomably funky, he’s already made it in our books.’ The Guardian
