The Black Tibetans- Awesome Band and a Mate of mine.

Los Angeles, CA –   Formed in 2011, the three-piece Rock N’ Roll machine consists of Dinst (vocals/guitar), Tammi Tibetan (bass), and Ryan KH (drums).  The Black Tibetans fuse motorcycle-centric culture with old-school sound combining elements of classic Rock N’ Roll, blues and punk influences.  The Black Tibetans have been on countless tours and have shared the stage with bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Eagles of Death Metal, Brody Dalle (The Distillers), Social Distortion, The Supersuckers and more.

The Black Tibetans have had the opportunity to make an impression on the fans of many.  Through this, they have earned a fan base of their own that continues to grow.  With three records and working with well-established musicians in the industry, The Black Tibetans are destined to make a name for themselves. Their most recent release,  The Nashville Session produced by Dan Auerbach is out now and available for download on iTunes.

I have Known the Singer  for many years and have to say that this is one of the best Raw, 60’s style  Garage heavy Guitar groups I have heard in a long time and a well worth a look, their Music is their own style of old and New and if I had a hat on, I would tip it their way.

Try and get to see these Trio of mayhem and raunchy style music, their music is available on I-tunes and well worth some of that hard earned coinage that you lot acquire.

If you want entertainment at its very best, there is no other Band I would rather see right now than The Black Tibetans. ” dalai lama “.

Back in 2011 they recorded this track and really put them on the map, turn the Volume up as you will dig this hard core in your face track named “Esmae”

Even earlier in 20120 here is their kicking track “Well it’s a Rock N Roll Party on a Saturday night.

I have known the lead singer for over 20 years and so stoked that he continues to do his thing, the love of music, Motorcycles and the Vintage clothing image that never goes out of style. 10 out of 10 to you all and keep thrashing out these Killer tracks!

 

 

Keep Rockin it mate.

 

Check their tour dates out on Facebook too as they will be heading to the UK soon.

Tuesday- Toe Tapping Time

Happy Tuesday, I am not into politics so no radio on at the shop today but thought I would at least offer some sounds that I particularly like and thought that maybe you may enjoy some of the sounds that make my toes tap whilst i am doing stuff in and around the workshop.

Below is a video from Sheffield’s Epileptic Hillbilly’s. I suppose its a bit of a twisted love song listen and watch and it will all come together. This video was conceived and put together in about 6 days, I turned up with my camera thinking i was going to just film some test shots and we ended up filming the whole thing then and there. Steve recons he’s gonna get an oscar for this performance cocky twat! haha!

 

Another British group this time Mad Jack and the Hatters with their 2nd Video from UK Rockabilly band ‘Mad Jack & The Hatters’. The Video was Filmed and Directed by Marc Price & Dominic Brunt, Edited by Dominic Brunt. Guest starring Jo-Ann Mitchell. The song is from the Album ‘ Beware Of The Dog’ on Popeye Records. It is available now on Vinyl / Cd or Download. Find Tunes, Pictures, Tour dates and more at www.madjackandthehatters.com

Below is The Lucky Bullets – Midnight Treat recorded in Berlin.

This time from Norway the Lucky Bullets and Fire down below!

This vid got deleted from youtube at some point. So here it is again. It was made at Fiskå pub, in Norway. The song was The Lucky Bullets contribution for the Norwegian Euro Vision Song Contest 2011. We came 3rd. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!

Some tunes to blow away the cold blues.

Saturday, its a little cooler today but not like back home for sure and to remind me of the cold and wet of jolly old England, here is some cool stuff I know that you will enjoy if you are interested in rhythm and blues.

 

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is a name I am sure you would of not heard of, she was to me, one of the best Blues- Gospel artists who never got the recognition of her skills. Elvis Presley adorned her Music, Chuck Berry listened and learned from her chords, this Black woman from the USA started this style of picking that nobody had ever heard before.
For me, she was and always will be “The Godmother of Rock n roll”

 

 

Below we start of with her on a British tour and yes in the wind and the rain, she still entertained the crowd and gets right into er guitar, not many would even do that today, so sit back and enjoy the talents of Rosetta and her booming Vocal chords.

I will never tire of her classic songs that are delivered with more punch than Mike Tyson, what a thunderous champion of the Blues.

So I sure hope not only are you amazed to not of heard of this wonderful lady, but with any luck like me, you will stop and think that she deserves so much recognition into the Rock n Roll hall of fame.

 

 

I was amazed by her power of her vocal chords, she also was a great guitar player and just had that natural ability to pull in the crowd, you cannot help but love this woman, I was blown away by her presence and musical talent.


So here is a documentary if you are hooked like i was many years ago, this will tell you all about this wonderful lady of the Blues!

Enjoy.

Foot Tapping, Knee Slapping Sounds that I listen too !

Plenty of sounds that I like these days and here is a cool french band called.
Jake Calypso & His Red Hot – My Baby Rocks
They sure can belt cool 50’s style Rockabilly and I dig the song.

Going with some traditional Blues with some Scat man thrown in for good measure, I love the raw style of Blues and hope this gets your foot tapping.

I saw Fellow Brit play at the House of Blues last year, a talented guy who loves the sounds of Doctor Ross and the Chicago Blues Slide.

Now Darrel Higham is a great British guitar picker – and this is how he shows you if you want to have a sound like Scotty Moore, then just try this.

I dig the sounds of the rockabilly days when i was at the weekenders in the UK back in the 80’s and this certaingly has that Rockin 80’s feel.

Now back home Jack Rabbit Slim was a solid sounding rockabliiy band and still bang their stuff out. Cannot get enough of this.

This time how about something a little different? This band is from the Ukreine and with the troublks out there, its a shame they cant go and watch this band, they have a heavy Johnny Burnette feel to their music and I dig it, cool title and great music.

Just thought I would add some unusual sounds for you lot to listen too that I dig, hope you liked it?

Cool Videos that I dig

OK, every now and again I make up some cool listings of Music Videos that I personally like.

Now I know you may not like them all, but this is the stuff I like and gives you an idea of what turns my dial.

This video that’s now up is from Norway, boy- they have some wild women there by the sound of it.

 

Now out into the dry lake bed for some smooth Rockin Sounds.

Ok, time for the Reverend to teach you how to eat.

The Baboons with it’s Dark, I have no idea what the song is about really as the video is unusual but a smoth track none the less.

Junior and the Cell mates play a cool set of licks and sing great in English.

Now back to my Home Country and a fella named Ian Bowerman not only can play the guitar, he is a one man band and cam blues like the original Doctor Ross,Lightning Hopkings and Howling Wolf.
This guy is awesome to see live.
Check him out, he goes by the name of “Dollar Bill”
