The Guardian: James Griffiths: Lancaster Jazz Festival Review: ROKASAYERS
Meanwhile, Stole The Whole Festival. They haven't merely discovered the lost chord - they've unearthed a whole cluster of them. Electric guitar, keyboards, drums and turntables came together to create a haunting, kooky mish-mash that sound like Can dismembering Thelonious Monk. Dedicating pieces to such objects as their favorite window blind, these brave young men have dreamed up sound tracks to unfilmable movies and yet they don't have a record contract. Catch them before they beam back to their home planet.

Air time was on the annual Best of: One Way Single Parent Family Favorites: The Pete Seargent (The Beat) Show.
Quote:"We played Sam Dale's Here She Comes two weeks running on the Family
Favourites Show and it towers above the puny efforts of Coldplay and
their
ilk for keyboard-based modern Soul. This man and his pals are a real
find" |

The Muffin Men "Thanks for the cd, love it! Ween meets Canterbury! Please keep promoting yourself, more of this kinda stuff needs to be
heard."

I appreciated the 6/8 cymbals, the live drums (or if not live drums sequenced) the syncopated lyrics the optimistic wit bordering on dangerous 'I'll nut you in the fakking 'ead' satitical seriousness.
It was raining very hard when I put it on,
Six minutes and 58 seconds later it stopped very suddenly.
Much like 'In Custody'. |
