Superfloor - Kharma Baby

[Basvarken]

Yeehaaa! Our new CD is here.
Yesterday they came in from the factory.
And on that very same day the first review came in too! (I sent them an advance copy)

RETROROCK/BLUES/SOUL
SUPERFLOOR
KHARMA BABY

A few years ago Superfloor had the honour to open Arrow Classic Rock on the very same stage where later that day archetypical rock representants like Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy would perform. An ambiance where the quartet, that was founded in 1997, felt right at home. Once started as a blues cover band the quartet has developed into a rock group that should be reckoned with. Hard rockin' blues for the soul is what they call it themselves. Not a word of Chinese in there, Kharma Baby to bear witness. In two songs the band is assisted by Rob Lamothe, ex-frontman of The Riverdogs. Mellotones' Mike Donkers provided the affair with a steady production. Across a solid paved foundation, laid down by rhythm tandem Thomas Calis and Rob van den Broek, guitarist Frank van der Wiel collects appealing power riffs and well oiled solos by the dozen. Black Crowes and Led Zeppelin spring to mind at first ear, but just as well influences of -let's say- Ginger Baker's Airforce and Stone The Crowes throw their weight about. Because of the heavy groove and the rough sanded voice of front woman Floor Kraaijvanger the trash soul of Now Time Delegation is never far away. And let's be honest; her soulful strut is -without any doubt- the highest trump of this highly inflammable quartet. High time for a reprise at Arrow Classic Rock.

Very nice!  I'll be picking one up in the near future.  That reviewer must be old as dust if he remembers Ginger Baker's Air Force!  He lumped you in with some lofty company.   As I recall, James Dewar was in Stone the Crows.

Congrats on the release and the great review!  Sounds great

[Dave W]

Very nice review, Rob. I wish you and the band much success.

I downloaded Get Outta Here in December, it's been in my ITunes rotation since.

Love the late sixties Janis Joplin/Jefferson Airplane vibe of Get outta here and your bass playing in the middle eight, Rob!

Congrats on the CD arrival and great review!  I was impressed by the track you posted.  Sometimes you see a band live, only to hear them recorded later and be totally disappointed - it either sounds flat and sterile, or totally overproduced.  You guys must really kick ass live, and it seems like whoever produced that track did a great job in conveying that energy thru the recording.
