  • Frightened Rabbit – The Phantom Band – Fat Sams – Dundee 02-12-09

    12 Dec 2009, 06:11 by harkyb

    Wed 2 Dec – Frightened Rabbit, As Tall as Lions, The Phantom Band

    It’s testament to how the stock of these two outstanding acts continue to rise, as the ticket demand for tonight show has reached near fever pitch, with excitement brimming on the faces of those in possession of their prized ticket and dismay on those who don’t, casting an envious glance at the rest. The Phantom Band flawless Checkmate Savage albums has seen them entrenched amongst Chemikal Underground’s legendary coterie, and as for our headliners, they continue to garner rave reviews and fans in high places, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see the sad sight of dejected fan after fan being turned away by sullen bouncers, with no ken of the fervour in which these kindle of Frabbit follower regard their heroes (no doubt ready to burrow a tunnel underneath just to catch a glimpse…)

    It would be unfair of me to comment on As Tall as Lions as I only caught a fleeting glimpse of their jazz-funk overtones, playing what sounded suspiciously like ‘Moving on Up’ by Curtis Mayfield - so onwards to The Phantom Band, who kick things off in stirring and intensive fashion, it’s as if Fat Sams has suddenly taken the form of a ominously creaking Route 66 highway pit-stop with an unsettling score to match, as a dark and creeping deep bluesy Americana unfolds and resonates round the venue powered by throbbing bass that shakes you to your very core as we’re surrounded by swirling suggestive synths all put to mesmerizing effect and propelled forcefully forward by commanding yet intricate and exotic percussion.

    To describe them using purely foreboding and dramatic tenor, would be to do them a disservice, as they eschew compartmentalising, having an extraordinary knack of melding psychedelic, avant-garde and esoteric influences with instantly accessible elements of indie-folk-rock, if not sharing a flirting glance with their trenchant pop sensibilities.

    ‘Folk Song Oblivion’ has an impressive bluesy swagger, while ‘Left Hand Wave’ and ‘Crocodile’ owes a great debt to our Teutonic Krautrock and Techno pioneers, with a sprinkle of Captain Beef Heart bedlam. No matter what chameleon-esque guise they take, one element remains constant - the bulwark of percussion that lies at The Phantom Band‘s core, proving to underpin the free-form psychedelic expression and experimentalism but never managing to hamper its spirit.

    After a brief scurry back-stage to speak to the aforementioned, aloof chameleons, I end up catching a few moments of Frightened Rabbit thundering through a slew of Midnight Organ Fight’s familiar highlights (‘Modern Leper’-‘I Feel Better’-‘Old Old Fashioned’) from stage-left, but soon I’m inexorably drawn into the thronging masses due to the sheer energy and vehemence of the crowd.

    The sight of a ebullient Scott Hutchinson decked out in flannel, seems to elicit a strong reaction from the female contingent amongst tonight’s Dundonian audience, with more than a few seemingly hankering after the Hutchison seed and gene-pool, although this is no one-man band, Scott’s bolstered by an ever-growing band of brothers and rack of expensive guitars and equipment, with every song sounding fleshed out and amped up a notch or two including the newly aired track ‘Nothing Like You’ and latest single ‘Swim Until You Can’t See Land’ which goes down a storm.

    It’s amazing to think that that this humble Selkirk band that hold no rock-star pretentious, adept at creating contemplative compositions imbued with dark humour and emotions laid-bare have been embraced on both sides of the Atlantic and further a field. It could well be down to their self-deprecation disposition, universal themes and ability to write emotionally resonant songs without ever sounding maudlin or self-pitying, instead their Scottish character is ingrained in every track, trading clichéd affectations for a national authenticity that holds more in common with Tartan Export than Tartan Shortbread.

    With this in mind the night draws to a close with the melancholic and raw relationship lament ‘Poke’ and as the crowd get evermore more raucous they finish on the rousing ‘Keep Yourself Warm’ complete with it’s crude, ribald lyrics steeped in relatable social-realism - “You won’t find love in a, won’t find love in a hole…it takes more than F--king someone to keep yourself warm” is sung back with such fervour and spirit that it could almost pose as a post-modern, surrogate National Anthem for a more reflective and unified Nation, focusing on inner turmoil and temperament rather than pitched battles and causes of Auld Lang Syne.

  • King Khan & The Shrines - What Is?! (2007) - album review

    16 Oct 2009, 13:21 by robbie-77

    Every now and again a record comes out that re-affirms everything that you inspired your love for music. King Khan & The Shrines are a refreshing hot furnace blast that will re-invigorate your love of music and have you swinging like it's 1969. There are barely enough adjectives to describe the sound of this band, who are an electrifying blend of psychedelic soul, rhythm & blues, garage, funk, & 60's Blow-Up-A-Go-Go style retro dancefloor.... and boy do they bring it. From the belting opener, 'How Can I Keep You (Outta Harms Way)’ will have you shakin' your booty around your living room, and wildly foot-tapping in the bus queue. It's the perfect summer album, and i'm secretly hoping could be the sound of the Summer... fingers crossed.

    The wall of sound created by this band is powered along by an amazingly tight and powerful brass section that wouldn't sound of out place on some of Motown's greatest hits backed up by the pedigree percussion of Ron Streeter (who performed with all the greats back in the day, (Ike & Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, Curtis Mayfield). I think they must have a tardis as the music sounds so authentically 60's it's like they've been transported from a different time and they certainly get around, now based in Berlin, and originally from Canada, (and if you believe their myspace page via South Georgia & the Sandwich Islands) they have been picked up by Vice Records and now have a greater distribution which is great news.

    The deliciously psychedelically daft " PlayI Wanna Be A Girl" is a fun little number, "PlayWelfare Bread" bringing up the rear with a slower paced slouchy number that'll have you reaching for a spliff and rose tinted glasses.

    "PlayLand Of The Freak'' is the stand-out track of the album bringing showcasing the tightest horn section and funkiest Hammond organ sound ever. Sly & The Family Stone eat your heart out. The amphetamine fueled pace makes you feel like you're wired on some damn good drugs or a gazillion espresso's.

    The album bounds along, occasionally taking a breather in 'Play69 Faces of Love' an uber cool track that wouldn't be out of place in a Tarantino film, in fact if Tarantino doesn't use one of their tracks in one of his next films i'll eat my hat. King Khan's vocals are blisteringly raw and ready throughout lending an Iggy Pop inspired influence especially on 'PlayNo Regrets' which sounds like it would be perfectly at home on a Stooges record.

    A psychedelic influenced album wouldn't be complete without the obligatory freak-out track, in this case 'PlayCosmic Serenade' that sounds inspired by Sun Ra's cosmic free jazz, (not everyone's cuppa tea i'll admit), and also 'Fear and Love'. It's an album that wears it's influences heavily on it's sleeve and it doesn't break any new ground in the originality stakes. That doesn't matter however, it's a sound that's been forgotten somewhat and diluted over time into a pale imitation and parody of itself, (The Dolly Rocker Movement & Tame Impala would love to be this band I suspect). These guys are the real deal, bringing the immediacy, power and fun of great music to shake your booty to and great musicianship back to the table.

    If you don’t like this album you must be dead inside.

    Atículo en castellano e inglés


    Article in spanish and english



    Tras mucho investigar e indagar por varias páginas de la red que tratan sobre música, recompilé la información necesaria para encontrar los mejores grupos y solistas de la historia de la música.

    Todo el mundo sabe que la mejor música siempre será la música clásica pero para los que no están aún preparados ante tal maestría y talento se puede acceder a música más "fácil" de escuchar como lo es el Rock o similar.

    A pesar de no ser música tan grandiosa como Mozart, Beethoven, Bach o compañia, se puede encontrar verdaderas preciosidades dignas de ser escuchadas para el oído entrenado o la mente abierta.

    Repito, he indagado mucho para encontrar, al fín, la lista de los verdaderamente mejores músicos de los ultimos tiempos. Son para degustar delicadamente por esas personas que de verdad sepan apreciarlos. Abtenerse los necios.



    After much investigate on several pages of the net about music, I re-compiled the necessary information to find the best groups and soloists of the history of music.
