Concert with X-Ray Cat Trio and Zealous Doxy

X_Ray_Cat_TrioMonday November 9th 2015, Concert with X-Ray Cat Trio (surf veterans from Leeds) and Zealous Doxy (duo voice, banjo from Leeds) . Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm. Music from 9pm till 10pm!

If your looking for dark, raw and tough rock ‘n’ roll the X-Ray Cat Trio are a band you should check out. This surf based band out of Leeds has been delivering the goods since 2009 and are more that just surf outfit. These kats mix rockabilly, psychobilly, Link Wray, punk and more into a cool brew that’s hard to resist. They released the pretty good ep “Bloody Deeds” back in 2014 and managed to gain some international attention. Now in 2015 they about to unleash their full debut album “Out For Blood’. This puppy comes in with attitude that snarls hard with 13 tracks that for the most part, pack a punch. We get only 2 tracks with vocals (both are pretty good) and the rest of the tracks are instrumentals. The band also throws in some killer saxophone on a few tracks and has been messing around with brass, Theremins and other weird stuff. http://xraycattrio.bandcamp.com/

Zealous Doxy from Leeds, two lasses singing sweet, sombre, ruckus harmonies with a banjo. They had surprised us in the bluebell woods, acting as the Woodstock hippie chicks, now they have jumped in the punk van to join the X-Ray Cat Trio tour across Holland and Germany. How much damage can you do with a banjo and a voice? The stunning, soaring roar of Sami Graystone on ‘Finistere’ is frankly captivating, whilst Rose Love provides a virtuoso lesson on the banjo. The raw, acid psych folkery of Zealous Doxy is utterly beguiling and their début self-titled EP – seek out ‘Katie Cruel’ and ‘Doxy’ alongside the aforesaid – should be grabbed before they become as rare as a month of Sundays. http://zealousdoxy.bandcamp.com/ […Lees verder]

David Broad (Leeds, UK). Amongst all my Dad’s Bob Dylan records there was a Woody Guthrie album which me and my bro always used to listen to. It was an interesting selection of songs, mostly traditional and hardly a mention of workers struggles or fighting fascists, the kind which he’s so well known for. http://www.davidbroad.co.uk/ […Lees verder]

Tim Holehouse (Portsmouth, UK) has spent the last 8 years on the road touring his ass off to play his music to the people of the world, playing his brand of mutant delta blues (delta blues played by a guy who was raised on a musical diet of being in Hardcore bands like Minor Threat, Husker du, Minute men and Black Flag). Not touring for huge profits (just enough to get by) or to seek fame, just a pure love of music, traveling and adventure. The archetypal image of a bluesman, outcast from proper society and stalked by personal demons. The defining characteristic of Delta blues is instrumentation and an emphasis on rhythm and “bottleneck” slide. When Holehouse arrived in a new town, he would play for tips on street corners or in front of the local barbershop or a restaurant. Holehouse also had an uncanny ability to establish a rapport with his audience – in every town in which he stopped, Holehouse would establish ties to the local community that would serve him well when he passed through again a month or a year later. Ok these things where written about Delta Blues Musicians of the 1920’s and 1930’s but sums up what i am trying to do now. I travel I play music for music’s sake. It has its roots in the delta blues with my own personal twist on it. I live by my rules and those rules are best summed up by something a friend of mine from Winnipeg told me once. Creativity, Adventure and People. Things I will not do Appear in my own music videos! Have my name or face on a shirt! Sell my soul! I enjoy playing music, if you want me to come to your town play get in touch. Let the good times roll! http://timholehouse.com/
