The Poker Dots

The POKER DOTS were formed in Spring 2002 whilst all three members were playing for Good Rockin.. Tonight,one of the UK..s top Rock..n..Roll bands. Having discovered they all shared a love of the same style of music, this cd was inevitable,with a varience of styles all stemming from the 1950..s,Rock..n..Roll,Western swing,Doo wop,Jive and Jazz. Vocal harmonies were a big influence,taken from The Platters,The Crew Cuts,The Chestnuts and The Keytones to name but a few. Other influences stretch as far back as Django Reinhardt and Nat King Cole. Having piled themselves into Zacs studio,they were let loose to rejuvinate some of their favourite tunes adding the Poker Dot flavour and having a ball while doing it. The result was cool, crisp and slick with sweet harmonies to give it that retro sound for this first cd. All three members are currently working with different outfits, John O..Malley has remained playing lead guitar for Good Rockin..Tonight, Zac Zdravkovic went on to form top jive band The Jive Romeros, this time on lead guitar (multi-talented boy) and Spencer Lingwood is now hitting the skins for the Rock..n..Roll stage show Rockin’ On Heaven’s Door. Although,now with other bands,The Poker Dots are drawn back together whenever the chance arises to mix it up and SWING THEIR THING !!!
