Let's Wrestle

Let's Wrestle perform their final radio session for Marc Riley before they go their separate ways.

Let's Wrestle preform their last ever radio session for us, sob sob before they go their separate ways. The first session they did for us was way back in 2007.

Named by Lawrence, of Felt and Denim, after a book by David Shrigley, Let's Wrestle were formed by Wesley Patrick Gonzalez on guitar and vocals with Darkus Bishop on drums and Mike Lightning on bass when they were in their teens. They recorded two albums In the Court of the Wrestling Lets (2009) and Nursing Home (produced by Steve Albini in 2011), with that line-up.

Following the departure of Mike Lightening the band recorded a self-titled third album with Sam Pillay of Virginia Wing on bass, a more sedate affair that showcased Gonzalez' song writing talents and love of classic pop.

Now though the original line up are back for the last radio session and then last ever gig at the 100 Club.

A must listen to show for all Let's Wrestle Fans.
