IT ALL STARTED WITH THE BASS LINE!

For a while now I’ve been recording at home, using a small Zoom R8 recorder and interface.

It has a good selection of drums, and a choice of kit sounds and rhythms.

The Bass guitar effects are excellent – my favourite being the Ampeg SVT setting (gloriously fat!), and lots of EQ options.

Using a Classic Series 50’s Precision Bass, strung with Rotosound flats, I’d been jamming for a few weeks with a bass line I’d come up with – a definite nod to “Come Go With Me” by The Staple Singers, a song which as you know has the most amazing groove all the way through..

Gradually the bass part took on more of a reggae groove, and once I’d added some drums everything came together pretty quickly. The melody line popped into my head – but I needed some help with lyrics (Thanks Roz!).

Thanks to the internet, my good friend Grev added a skanking guitar part, and Michelle Hope came up with a beautiful vocal performance.

I think it worked out well, and I hope you like it.

I have spent many years coming up with lines for other people’s songs – it was a real blast to create from the bottom up!


 
Instrumental funk/ambient/improvised duo. Friend played guitars and wrote main melodies plus keys on one track. I played bass, keys, did the drum programming, and wrote the tunes. It's been a while and we've been itching to perform and record more.

When people ask me what my band's genre is I can't help but laugh and just change the topic, 'cos I don't know either.
Yet somehow we ended up with the following tagline:
"Jazzed-Up Funkadelic Prog-Pop Power Trio"

Check out our debut album! More stuff in the works currently.


(we also have a newer EP out on streaming, which for some reason isn't on bandcamp yet... might have to sort that out)
