Band Members: Nick Powell and anyone who plays blues/roots in London who'd like to join...
Influences: Nick: ’Musical sleaze from ZZ Top, Lowell George and Little Feat, Ry Cooder (particularly Southern Comfort), Allman Bros, Jeff Beck and John Lee Hooker, and the Stones – Mick Taylor era. Little Walter, Steve ’West’ Weston and Magic Dick (J Geils Band) on harp, church music, Michael Chapman’s great voice. Tease from Charles Addams of the New Yorker, the greatest cartoonist of all time.
Sounds Like: Simple blues riffs, a bit of swamp rock, some wailing harp, overdriven slide. Raising a pig is true – we made sausages and black pudding. One Last Bite came from Mr Creosote in the Python's Meaning of Life but I'd like to use it to draw attention to the plight of Jack Alderman, who has been on death row for 33 years... www.exoneratejack.org
