Biography

Jon Lord
Bob Daisley
Tim Gaze
Rob Grosser

When Bob Daisley returned to live in Sydney, Australia in 1997, he soon re-established a connection with Tim Gaze. They’d been in Kahvas Jute together in 1970 and Bob had always rated Tim as a very good guitarist and kept in touch over the many years. Tim had a blues band called The Blues Doctors at the time and invited Bob to do some gigs with them.

Bob picks up the story from here…

I’ve always been a fan of the blues. I agree with the great Willie Dixon when he said “Blues is the roots, everything else is the shoots”. Soon after the first few gigs that we did, Tim asked me to join as a permanent member, which I agreed to do. At that time the line-up was Tim on lead vocals and guitar, Rob Grosser on drums, Jim Conway on harmonica and yours truly on bass. I suggested that we start afresh with a new name and suggested The Hoochie Coochie Men, after the Willie Dixon penned song “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man”, an old blues standard.

In 2000 we recorded our first album “The Hoochie Coochie Men” with the above line-up. We did various gigs, clubs, restaurants etc. but had a pretty non-eventful year during 2002, until in January, 2003 I got a phone call from Drew Thompson who working with Jon Lord on his tour in Australia.
