Originally conceived as a multi-day warehouse party by Norman Cook and studio engineer Simon Thornton, The Brighton Port Authority (aka, The BPA) evolved into a star-studded assemblage of collaborations that included the likes of Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Dizzee Rascal, Martha Wainwright, Jamie T, and many more. The legend of the “lost” BPA tapes has simmered amongst the music community for decades. Now, BPA Chairman Norman Cook and company are finally ready to reveal The BPA sessions to the world. The collection has been dubbed, I Think We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat, and is set for release via Southern Fried Records.
