ROCKTIMES • GERMANY

Before it joined the band Kimon & The Prophets, the three musicians had already brought a few other stops behind him. Namesake, songwriter, guitarist, singer and keyboardist Kimon Katafigiotis was previously a garage band called The Wilsons and Fear of Falling. In this group was the drummer Rob Savoy, and they founded the rock band Psonica not had such a long time. Finally Kimon released four albums under his own name, and drummed Savoy next to him. Often, a friend of the drummer and a bassist Marc Gambino, who was active in Concrete Jungle, and Maybe Pete, we finally started Kimon & The Prophets.

Like with sixteen songs, the first disk is filled, and so that brings the season to a pleasurable 64 minutes. And not all the numbers from Kimon spring comes and then you look to the five quotations, it is clear that the trio plowed a large garden. From Hendrix to David Bowie, Nick Lowe is up to Don Henley. Their own material keeps you on track of the blues, funky with it on some pieces in the finish too, soulful and rocking directions comes. On all tracks, the band, however, spans the roof of the tune.

The CD is a collection of very diverse songs. With the groovy title track, "Road House Party" is one of Blues and with such a composition also party is announced. Great deal of passion has been put into the arrangements of the numbers that have been taken incidentally shared by the trio in his hand. D and make slide guitar, some keyboard deposits, acoustic six string and a brass section (in a song), besides the great songwriting, the spice mixture from the instruments. The bassist Gambino also responsible for the vocal microphone and the entire plate may actually be perfect for a party and not just used.

By about Boogie Shuffle to languid ballads Kimon & The Prophets also has music from this perspective as seen from some of the "Roadhouse Patry 'luggage. The guitar solos are all worth listening to and among foreign compositions has made it not take the trio to leave his own footprints. "Fire" is introduced with a short "Voodoo Chile" and twice quoted Mr Bowie: "Heroes has" won just ahead of "Rebel, Rebel". Former number would be a smooth home-grown. The "The Boys of Summer", partly on the Eagles DVD Farewell 1 Tour Live From Melbourne include rounds the listening pleasure from excellent.

Addition: Kimon & The Prophets can be viewed but also because free house is delivered simultaneously to DVD. At the beginning of this dark horse we have made some "Road House Party"-tracks as videos. That was something I had not seen for some time and also the whole is once again fun. The songs were good as movies set in scene. As appears directly in the first track on a woman who has only a small part of her body keeps covered with a black leather skirt and top the same color. The image of 'Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll' is maintained, taking drugs here means a cold beer. In the video for the song "Road House Party" would probably be immediately draw on unlimited, but unfortunately there are picture cuts almost every second. This is because then too much of the good. The other songs are really worth seeing and shows the band including the studio.

In the middle of DVD movies is screwed up in the air, because the trio presents itself as a live acoustic combo in the studio. As it will become clear what quality of the songwriting. These numbers Rob Savoy does not sit at the drums, but serves two congas.

In the Extras section there are three videos from the older pre-Kimon & The Prophets era. It begins with a political-critical "World Domination". "Song Of The Revolution" was illustrated with Paris Impressions, "A Deal Is A Deal" shot in Asbury Park. It rocks. The menu is concise and easy to use.

The "Road House Party" package is consistent in itself, shows a band that knows how to stand on their own two feet and still deliver good music to boot. Antesten is allowed.
