News and Forthcoming Gigs
Blog Update Thursday 1st October 2009
Regular readers will recall that I keep harping on about how awesome it would be to have a kick arse female power vocalist ( Anastasia ?? )with the ordinary female vocals doing backing only. I had that planned at one time but when suggesting it, the existing singers grew devil horns, got all red eyed and blew me down with fire.........
All bands that strive to be better than average need to have striking vocals. Vocals that can harmonise is even better and should be mandatory.....
If you want to know what I mean then remember you heard about it here first.....
Her name is Florence Rawlings. She is currently on tour including supporting Tom Jones.
I wished my band had listened all them years ago !!!!
The best bass player ever has to be James Jamerson. He was a Funk Brother. A band of some of the best muscians regularly got together in a cellar in Detroit and made the Mowtown sound.
Catch it and listen to Heatwave. This has a shuffle drum beat and a walking bass line that in my view is unsurpassed.
