Many famous and talented musicians have inspired and guided us on our musical journey. In return, we humbly offer our interpretations of their work.....
(er, cribbed out of the Book of Pretentious Rock Blurb)
Just a few of the 60-odd numbers in our current play-list;
Elvis Costello - Pump it Up
Beatles - Back in the USSR (or Daventry, as we know it better)
Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Woman
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood, Pride and Joy
Steve Miller - Keep on Rockin' Me
Queen - Fat Bottomed Gurlz
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love
Tina Turner - Steamy Windows, River Deep Mountain High
Bad Company - Can't get Enough of Your Love
Kinks - You Really Got Me/ All Day and All of the Night - a mini-medley
Dr. Feelgood - Milk and Alcohol; and a couple of others that sound almost the same
Screaming Jay Hawkins - Heart Attack and Vine (now that's not a number you see in many setlists...)
Primal Scream - Get Ya Rocks Off
The Stranglers - Go Buddy Go (the bastard offspring of punk and Rock and Roll )
Wilson Pickett - Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally (is there a band anywhere that hasn't played Mustang Sally at least once......)
Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues - the HEAVY version
Robert Palmer - Doctor Doctor (what have you done to Bill to make him sing falsetto backing vocals....)
James Brown - I Feel Good - whether we do or not
Canned Heat - Stick Together - and after a sweaty night playing a pub, we often do
Sex Pistols - My Way - as you will never, ever have heard it before.......
Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin'
ZZ Topp - Sharp Dressed Man (with the blistering sax solo that ZZ never got to record)
Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You - yippee, something from this century!!
We're adding to the list all the time - but you hopefully get the idea of where we're coming from.
