Artist description
Old Basford
Here, the holy trinity of the blues three piece is worshipped.
Jeckel and Hyde vocals where angelic falsetto rips into a screaming growl, and a seam bursting bass line is locked in by the whip crack drums. The guitar, greasy and keen, shakes the cage and when released the boogie turns to rock and grit. A blues strut that will snap your head off and still you’ll want to dance.
We’ve been sneaking the boogie out of the early seventies (ZZ Top, little feat, Canned Heat) and dragging the heavy shit out of the nineties (but without yah-yah screaming) and now we mud it up to make your feet shuffle. Bass, drums, and guitar hop-step it up, shaking the hippy hair and leaving the rockers slack jaw. Old Basford take you to the heavy points through the rolling rhythms. It’s a flow that will make you go down the dark road, where the wind parts the hair of road kill and before you know it…. you’re in the swamps. The guitar will drown or sooth until you ease into the steady groove that will make you feel like a snake in the sun. It’s all in the sway, it’s alright to feel this way.
Based in Nottingham the band is aching to be seen. Old Basford can cut the stage with the best of them. The tune is aggressive, the singing is high.
Like a lizard in the beak, you’ll uncontrollably shake.
Go and see Old Basford, they need more prey.
