I kinda like these guys ...

Nothing new and the nod to James Brown is obvious, but they play with fire. In their suits and all they managed to survive as the opening act of AC/DC on their European tour, I guess that is saying something.

Rob will probably love them.

Ah, well ....... that's been done before ........ it may cost them a leg over time ......

Saw them at the AC/DC gig, they worked hard to catch the audience and they succeed. The singer even did stage jump. Nice performance.
My friend, who didn't know them, defined them as "a pleasant sounding group", i think that's exactly what they are.

You know me pretty well Uwe! I do like them indeed.

Perfect combination of Soul, Rock and Blues as far as I'm concerned.

I like their version of this Ike & Tina song too

sounds like paul rogers now and again.

I like them. They turn up now and then on a Spotify station I listen to called "dirty rock".

I agree, what's not to like! They Rock it!

The soul component comes out more on this stuff here:

Wow, I love them!

Great band. They're the real deal.

Highlander · August 20, 2015, 12:51:18 AM

Really good...

And oh bugger, that was a London gig...

Droombolus · August 20, 2015, 03:12:43 AM

OK these boys can play, but there's no middle ground. They either rock or smooch. I'd like to hear some ol' fashioned Rock n' Soul ( Rhinoceros style ) in a modern day setting .........

They supported The Who some years ago in Holland and I loved them. I already had them on my radar at that time, but seeing them live was great. They really packed in the 17.500 people crowd!! I'm jealous of his quick pirouettes, dance moves and checked '70s suit! The guy is a modern James Brown, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave... And the band is great with suits and all. Everything is perfect, without being too perfect.

The highlight was when he went in to the public with his microphone. It took three roadies to help him with the microphone lead which was like 30 meters (that's about 90, 100 foot for you Americans). I'm 450% sure his mic was a wireless one with the big battery compartment at the end, but how nice is it to have this fake lead and have all those roadies help you in Buddy Guy at the Festival Express style!!!

Side remark: It's always beneficial for a group sound if there is a black guy in a white group or vice versa. I know it's stereotyping (or is it diversity?), but every complexion (with its cultural background) does generally something particularly well. Mothers Finest were an archexample for that - in their various eras they had great all-black line-ups, but they sounded best in my ears with their original white guitarist and white drummer (plus that brilliant jazzy black keyboard player they had).
