He doesn't wear his underwear outside his trousers, climb walls or leap tall buildings in a single bound, he can however destroy all square music Super-Villains - enemies of the Hammond Groove! Captain Hammond has come to save the Cosmos!!Captain Hammond is the brainchild of Mother Earth's Hammond hero Bryn Barklam.More than a group, Captain Hammond is an audio-visual concept featuring the Hammond Organ Power Trio's rocking instrumental Hammond sounds accompanied by the cosmic comic book exploits of half man - half organ, and all hero, Captain Hammond!Inspired by months of sweaty jamming in the infamous London basement blues joint "Frank's Bar" with long-time cohort Greg Boraman, Bryn began to blend his favourite musical elements into a grooving, Hammond flavoured musical stew. After the addition of Greg's Reverend Cleatus band mate Pete Collison on guitar, the trio began creating some serious sounds - heavy, blistering, organic rock; gospel; 60's rhythm and blues; a hint of down-home funk and a cosmos worth of soul!At the same time as the music took shape Bryn's fertile imagination and artistic flair also brought the character of Captain Hammond to life. A manga-inspired, valve-powered, space-age, inter-planetary warrior - fighting to rid the universe of the unfeeling, soul-less, machine-driven music constructed by his arch enemies:The malevolent M E C H A N A U T S!The result is out of this world! With Bryn's high-octane organ playing, Pete's biting R&B guitar and Greg's super-heavy soul drumming, Captain Hammond takes you on an inter-galactic journey - a swirling soundtrack of gritty, dancefloor friendly R&B organ workouts with groundshaking and anthemic rock instrumentals and swinging Northern Soul style soul grooves.Welcome to Captain Hammond's Universe!For further information regarding Captain Hammond, recordings, gigs, press & bookings contact [email protected]
