"What can a poor boy do, except to sing in a rock 'n' roll band?"... In
1968 The Stones sang this simple words and the Licks, 40 years after,
keep on trustin' on them!
The band was born in 2003, influenced by
dirty, dusty and bluesy old time Rock 'n' rollmade of four or less chords,
mouldy garages and valves' heat. The guys had Stones, Zep, Aerosmith
and many others on their desktop instead of books, guitars and slides
instead of pencils...What can five poor boys do except to strike up a
rock 'n' roll band?
They started to play in tidy studios ending up in a dusty garage..in which they found the right way, the right mood to write and play what they really need
and feel.
So, after spending many years as a Rolling Stones' Tribute
band, in 2008, they began to develop their old own tracks and create
new ones, inspired by their experiences on stage and in life, most of
them, spent all together.
In the early days of 2009 the Licks started
the recording sessions of their first EP, "Northbound", helped by many
friends/artists and their extraordinary experience, choosing to find
the right sounds and better arrangements with Fabio Rizzo ( 800A
Records, WAINES and Second Grace - above all ) and mixing everything at
the Cave Studio.
Five tracks which strongly reflect the influences of
the '70es, recorded few floors under ground, fags and shouting choirs,
this is "Nortbound".
"Five strings, three chords, two fingers, one
asshole" - Keith Richards
This in what the Licks want to do, nothing
more, this is what the Licks call Rock 'n' Roll.
