"ElectroMen...Psychedelic Hillbilly Roots for Your Consumption...!!!"
The bizarre lovechild of Captain Kennie Fuller and Hank Deberitz, ElectroMen are without question Roots Rockin Racketeers of the Severe Kind.
Complimented by the mighty rumble of GBN Bushby (upright bass) and Yugon Chobanoff (The Russian of Percussion), Hank and the Captain will take you on a nervewrackingly exhilarating journey through their collectively twisted minds, the fire in their belly provided by the Banshee like wails of Benji Franz’ highly out there lap steel guitar.
Take the trip from the Noir Jangles of Spacy Surf & Blues On the Edge to Barbed Wire Guitar Pop & Fried Out Rockabilly.
The Captain and Hank have both spent a number of years building an impressive catalogue of original tunes.
The cataclysmic events that followed the getting together of these highly Electrified Units has been like adding Nitro to the Glycerine and shaking it a lot..the Vigorous Shaking provided by Franz, Bushby and Chobanoff.
Don’t miss the Riotous Rollercoasterride of Tales From The Edge and all stops between..
Cheers ElectroMen
Here is what acclaimed author, and rocker since the cradle, Brett D'Arcy has to say:
There are few givens with real rock ’n’ roll, except this: real rock ’n’ roll is combustible. It’s an uncommon thing.
Yet, once you’ve experienced it, there’s no mistaking the genuine article. Fuel, spark, ignition: and there it is, that all encompassing rush where everything comes together at once. Next thing you know, you’re firing too. Because real rock ’n’ roll doesn’t burn in isolation. It likes company, and it draws you in.
Sometimes it smoulders, others, it blazes. However it burns, there’s no forgetting.
This is the energy that was there at the outset. You can feel it in howling, freight-train rhythm and blues and, again, in the snarl and swagger of garage and punk. But there is more. Real rock ’n’ roll has to have its own voice, and it has to be played that way — original as sin — and if there’s hell to pay, then so be it.
Enter this album: Real rock ’n’ roll.
Enter The Electromen: The band most likely to burn.
