GETDOWN SERVICES - ISSUE ONE
If you’ve been to a gig in the Southwest of England in the last couple years, chances are you’ve seen Getdown Services warming the crowd into fanatic explosion.Having been introduced to the scene as a kind of novelty – two blokes in their late-20s with their shirts off, ranting about the Naked Chef’s 15-minute dinners – the pair, childhood friends Josh Law and Ben Sadler, quickly established a close-to-cult following for their sprechgesang approach to disco.
