Apparently the backing group on this recording - made at a Hamburg club, or simulated to sound like a show - doesn't feature the actual Soul Band, but musicians from the obscure Liverpool group Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes.[2][3]

gollark: It's very do-it-yourself and doesn't actually have an installer, but does have very good documentation and an install guide.
gollark: Arch Linux, which I use btw, has Java 8 in the repos.
gollark: Java 7 used to be able to, but mods need 8 now, but 9 somehow breaks the launcher because of course it does.
gollark: bcachefs looks interesting, but isn't actually in the kernel yet.
