The 12-Minute Saints

No Half Ass, All Bad Ass!

About Me

Yeah, face melting blues rock pretty much sums up the sound of The 12-Minute Saints. The sound is key and it simmers with the heavy influences of it's members. Johnny is the back bone of this band. He's a kick ass drummer who plays like a mofo. He's develpoed his own frantic style built on the foundation put down by rock's greatest. Dan lays down the bottom end with the musical sensibility of Motown laced with a wicked dose of Jaco like scizophrenia. John is a blues freak who thinks anything without that North Mississippi groove is crap. Patrick likes everybody who is a bad ass like himself. A very weird mix. Cooked over a high wattage burner and you got a serious rockin' blues stew. This ain't soup. It will stick to your ribs and weigh you down. Check it out for yourself. If the low-fi MP3 don't cut it, check'em out live. Guaranteed to satisfy.
