The Del Moroccos

About Me

The Del Moroccos are a powerful new 8 piece Rock n' Roll band (guitar, bass, drums, piano, tenor/bari sax, and 3 sexy frontwomen) who put out an awesome full-length show of dirty R'N'R, R&B material with girl group vocals.Knock the Ray-ettes and Link Wray together, with a blast of garage, a hit of late '50s black rock n' roll, dress 'em up like Johnny Cash, and you get a raucous, mean mix of "'50s garage". The members are veteran Chicago musicians from the rockabilly, surf, ska, jazz and R & B scenes, from bands including: Mighty Blue Kings, Jimmy Sutton's Four Charms, Deals Gone Bad, Cave Catt Sammy, The Stranger, Kevin O'Donnell's Quality 6, Reluctant Aquanauts and The Stacks. The Del Moroccos lead guitar player Jimmy Sutton, hand picked the line up for this relentless new sound.The Del Moroccos set list features choice selections of obscure, rockin' early independent record label songs and wild originals, capturing a sound that teeters somewhere between the 50's and 60's, and is performed with the emotion of early punk and mod revival. New on the scene, The Del Moroccos' debut CD, Blue Black Hair, is getting rave reviews! Get yours now!In the UK:

Sounds Like: REVIEWS:“Good Stuff!” - Richard Milne, WXRT, Chicago’s Finest Rock CD of 2008!!!!“We had many contenders but this album came out on top when we received it a few weeks ago. Great songs, great band, great musicians...it’s got it all. Get yours now!” - Martin Vowels, RootsCD.com"Best Young Band (Green Bay 2007): ... with three female singers fronting a five-piece band out of Chicago...put on sizzling shows." Jeff Ash, Green Bay Press-Gazette"The small ballroom could barely contain another blinding discovery, (Del Moroccos), fronted by the charismatic Gabrielle, with two girl back-up singers and husband Jimmy Sutton on lead guitar, with a full backing including twin saxes and keyboard on a set that ran from Ronnie Dawson's "Action Packed" to Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind." John Howard, UK Rock".....(the Del Moroccos) repped for Chicago well, blurring the lines between rockabilly and early-60s soul, without the narrow-minded myopia that sinks most newer 'billy acts." (James Porter, Time Out Chicago)"(The Del Moroccos) was a great new (to myself) band lead by Gabrielle, the wife of Jimmy Sutton backed up by another two girl singers and a full band including twin saxes and keyboard. This was blazing stuff with a selection of songs ranging from 'Id rather Go Blind' to Ronnie Dawson's 'Action Packed'. This is another band we have to get over to Europe as soon as possible."
