BLUESMAGAZINE • NETHERLANDS

Some veterans of the musical N.Y.C. Circuit where we have going on, have already earned their spurs long. Kimon first leader has left its mark by working in bands like Hoboken, The Wilsons, and this way when he met drummer Sayoy also have and it clicked wonderfully well. A logical extension was that together they have their musical roots went deep to settle out in bands of electronic nature, but also in Asbury Park.

After several releases of that period, was finally by the arrival of a very long friendship, Mark Gambino (bass-vocals) added in order to come to this trio, and their new album to deliver. This album called "Road House Party" brings the men back to the roots of their music. the influences of the past are clear to hear, because these guys bring a mix of Blues, Rock, Stevie Ray, Stevie Wonder, which is tasty and sounds nothing goes over the top, so do not expect loud guitar licks, but many beautiful solo elements in the various tracks of this excellent album. It goes in all directions, and listening so delicious way. Imagine in the evening to enjoy the season Slobberwijn or a beer and then just those sounds to flow over you, as a fresh summer rain.

The tracks: the opener "Road House Party" Blue is a number that sounds a bit Sophisticated with what we are used to present the blues, but it sounds good, also the polyphonic vocals so. Therefore excellent guitar work of Kimon again. "Far Off Places, a funky sometimes a little reminiscent of the Eagles," Time To Move On "- Bluesrock so. Then "A Letter From ocean-side like a rock ballad, Fire is a mixture of operations of Jimi Hendrix tracks, pieces of Voodoo Chile, and then Fire is a unique performance that certainly must be there for me. Funny are also 2 separate versions of Bowie songs, namely Heroes and Rebel Rebel, who is given a different sound. All in all, plenty of variety on this disc which thus contains a fair amount of rock a la Eagles, Outlaws, and a little Fall Fire, although they qualitatively not get my idea, so still a funny picture, with the valve once the jewel by Don Henley "The Boys Of Summer" and also a DVD with video 's and the CD also takes nice long because it has fewer than 16 tracks-do it to your advantage, I would say, again from the Hemifran so stable.
