“It was snowing and the walls were paper thin as I played my six string. Suddenly a thought came to mind, ‘Why not join a band’ and so that is what I did. I put up an add and after three attempts I found myself singing for ‘Smoke Stack Lightning’ Joke was they were just around the corner in North Walsham, UK. I’m a solo musician and new to England and their awesome manner and dedication to the blues and blues-rock genre totally blew my mind. For me it is a marriage made in heaven, to quote a friend. Awesome electric guitar by James Wesley, pounding drums by Paul Wright and solid bass by the founder Rene Bosman. ”

After months, well in the case of the band it’s been slightly over a year of practicing, selecting the songs that go bezoygn!!! That’s right bezoign!!! Sweating in the hot box at Earth Studios, Norwich and sometimes reheasing at the Plug in Norwich, finally we got brave enough to ask bro. John Wesley to roll the magic camera and give y’all a fresh sampling of what we’ve been aching, dying, rolling around on the tarred roads to share. So with grit in our mouth, saliva on our tongues, strings jangeling, drums pounding and our founders bass thumbing it’s time to give ya what we got so far.
We’ll be doing two private parties (maybe only one) towards the end of this month and then weather permitting (hey we don’t like trundeling across the tundra (snow jammed tundra) to do it, but we’ll be out there somewhere in the countryside and I’ll let y’all know just as soon as I know. That’s all for now, boogie down!!!
