Chattering Classes #23 - Dutch Shultz
Riff mongers Dutch Schultz are about to go back into studio to record their second album provisionally titled, Tonight We Hunt. So ATL thought it only right to catch up with them before all the showbiz glitz n' glamour of the release and ask the real, indepth questions about the meaning of music... or you know, other stuff...
