Stagetime: The Corn Potato String Band feat. Aaron Jonah Lewis 9:00
Stagetime: The Dizzy Birds 10:00
The Corn Potato String Band play authentic American Appalachian folk music. The members of this band have delighted audiences with their driving fiddle tunes and harmonious singing across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Mexico. They are all multi-instrumentalists dedicated to continuing the traditional fiddle and banjo music and dance of the Central Southern US. In addition to being champion fiddlers, they play banjo and guitar and cover many different antiquated styles including ballads, “ho-downs,” country “rags” and southern gospel, specializing in twin fiddling and double banjo tunes.
Sechs junge Musiker, aus Frankreich, Spanien, Dänemark und Deutschland, welche schon seit Jahren die Swing-Szene Berlins in Clubs, auf der Straße und Tanzveranstaltungen aufwirbeln, bilden die Band “Dizzybirds”. Das Repertoire, orientiert an der Musik New Orleans aus den 1920er Jahren, wird mit einer unvergleichlichen Leidenschaft und Energie dargeboten und sollte jeden dazu bringen den Charleston oder LindyHop zu tanzen!
Blues is the teacher. Punk is the preacher. It’s all about emotion and energy, experience and raw talent, spirit and intellect. Exciting things happen when these things collide. Bob and Lisa made the BellRays happen in 1991 but they weren’t really thinking about any of this then. They wanted to play music and they wanted it to feel good. They wanted people to WANT to get up, to NEED to get up and check out what was going on. Form an opinion. React. So they took everything they knew about; the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, the Who, the Ramones, Billie Holiday, Lou Rawls, Hank Williams, the DB’s, Jimmy Reed, Led Zeppelin, to name a very few and pressed it into service. It was never about coming up with a ‘sound’, or fitting in with a scene. It was about the energy that made all that music so irresistible. It was the history BEFORE Led Zeppelin that led them to that point. The Beatles thought they were playing R&B. It just came out like ‘Rubber Soul’. The Ramones were trying to be Del Shannon or Neil Sedaka and out came ‘Rocket to Russia’. With the BellRays there was no conscious effort to ‘combine’ rock and soul because they didn’t see them as divided in the first place. Blues was teaching. Punk was preaching. The BellRays were always listening.

The BellRays began in, and still hail from, Riverside, Ca., just east of Los Angeles. We started in 1991 and have been going ever since. The original line-up was Lisa Kekaula- vocals, Bob Vennum- guitar, Phil Phillips- bass, Brad Vaughn- drums, Jim Kerwin -keyboards. We started out with more of a pop/blues based sound and when Brad and Phil left we found Ray Chin and several bass players. Tony Bramel sat in occasionally, Ethan Halpern was there for a while and Mike Sullivan joined for a short period. After going for a while unable to find a bass player Bob switched to bass when Tony came aboard and we played around Southern California for a couple of years after putting out “Let It Blast” and “Grand Fury”. We did a U.S. tour with Nashville Pussy and then Ray left the band. With drummer Todd Westover we played the Transmusical festival in 1999 and began touring europe shortly after that. Todd left and we toured with Vince Meghrouni in europe. After that Tony left, Bob went back to guitar and we toured with bassist Jeff Porterfield and drummer Mike Sessa. Mike left and drummer Eric Herrmann came in for a while. Tony rejoined, Bob went to bass again and in came drummers Eric Allgood and Chris Markwood for a short stint apiece. After Chris left we found a bit of stability with drummer Craig Waters who stayed for almost 4 years, outlasting Tony who again left. Bob switched back to guitar and we found bassist Justin Andres who is still touring with us, now with drummer Stefan Litrownik. That’s the reader’s digest version. stay tuned.

A pioneer of rock music, Natural Child is a significant influence on the development of both the music and the attitude associated with the rock music lifestyle. With songs such as “Shamewalkin” (2009), “White People” (2011), “Ain’t Gonna Stop” (2012) and “Let The Good Times Roll” (2012), Natural Child refined and developed rhythm and blues, psychedelia, and country into the major elements that make rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics successfully aimed to appeal to the early teenage market by using graphic and humorous descriptions of race, sex, devil weed, and life as a grown-ass man and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music. The band’s records are a rich storehouse of the essential lyrical, showmanship and musical components of rock and roll; and, in addition to White Fang, Gap Dream, The Strange Boys, and The Black Lips, a large number of significant popular-music groups have performed Natural Child songs.
Though not technically accomplished, their musical style is distinctive — drawing on the influence of acts such as The Rolling Stones, Canned Heat, Willie Nelson, JJ Cale, and Waylon Jennings to produce a clear and exciting sound that many later guitar musicians will acknowledge as a major influence in their own style. In the film Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll, Eric Clapton states ‘If you wanna play rock and roll — or any upbeat number — and you want to take a guitar ride you will end up playing like Natural Child…because there is very little other choice. There’s not a lot of other ways to play rock and roll other than the way Natty Child plays it; they’ve really laid the law down…” Keith Richards told Best of Guitar Player ”Child is my band. They was the ones who made me say ‘I want to play guitar, Jesus Christ!’…Suddenly I knew what I wanted to do.” Natural Child’s showmanship has been influential on other rock legends, particularly their one-legged hop, duck walk, and the “fog-the-shit-out-of-the-stage-so-nobody-can-see” routine, which is exactly what it sounds like.

we´re happy to have the Graveltones back in the club! Recent show was so good we had to book em again !
The proportion of the world's population that haven't heard of the Graveltones is shrinking rapidly with every passing day. As I write, the band nominated for 'Best New Band' at the 2013 Classic Rock Awards have just returned from a gargantuan and triumphant tour of Northern Europe, and are now busy getting stuck in to writing their second studio album after the success of their first thunderous offering, 'Don't Wait Down'. Where on earth did these guys spring from?
Picture this (preferably whilst cueing up some Gravel-tunes...)
Two boys from two towns in Australia run away to London, each in search of a channel for their immense musical talents. A chance meeting on London's famous Tin Pan Alley, where the likes of The Rolling Stones and The Sex Pistols were part of the furniture back in the day, brings them together into a music studio for an exploratory Jam session... No-one knows what happened in that room on that day, but the world, or at least most of central London certainly heard what happened next: three days later, the pair were tearing the roof off the 100 Club, and in a couple more days, phone-made videos of that first gig were circulating the cyber waves. For those lucky enough to have been taken by the ears and dragged around that room by this band, Jimmy O (guitars/vocals) and Mikey Sorbello (Drums/noises) left a lasting impression. This was a rock epiphany. The Graveltones had arrived. That was February 2011. More than three years have passed since those embryonic days, and in that relatively short period of time, the Graveltones story-so-far has unfolded in epic proportions. They are knocking on the door of 1000 live shows world wide, with tours of Australia and Europe (including a tour of Germany, Switzerland and Austria supporting the mighty BossHoss) embellishing the UK and London gig CV, an astonishing feat of Beatle-esque proportions. 2014 shows no signs of any downturn in live outings with several big dates and festivals already confirmed including a 2014 repeat of their 2013 appearance at Download, Nova Rock in Austria and Jersey Live in, er, Jersey. There are yet more exciting gig and festival announcements to look out for as 2014 continues.
As well as success on the road, this two-piece nouveau-blues freight train have also been very busy gracing us with some stunning studio performances. The eponymous debut EP, recorded in just two days in early 2011 followed in 2012 with their single 'I Want Your Love', both proving to be a great success with media and fans. Following all this, the turning of the page, the coming of age, the first long player in the shape of the scarily good 'Don't Wait Down', an album eagerly awaited and rapturously received by fans and critics alike. Produced by Charlie Francis, who has been in the chair for the likes of REM and the Noisettes, the mission was to capture the raw live energy of The Graveltones' live performances and embellish that with some sweet studio icing on a very Gravely cake. Mission accomplished.
With two singles, the bouncy shuffle 'Catch Me On The Fly' and the raging 'Forget About The Trouble' (which comes complete with a stunning music video shot on location in East London), the band are now out and touring their masterpiece, recorded in just eight days in the Monnow Valley studios in deepest darkest Wales. There's plenty of them over the airwaves too, so you know you can still get your fix of Graveltones even when you can't keep up with their whirlwind live tour schedule. Team Rock Radio have featured them in numerous live shows and made 'Catch Me On The Fly' a regular fixture on their playlist, as have Planet Rock radio. And if you ever find yourself forced to take a flight to a far away place, make sure to fly Virgin Airways, as the Graveltones have kindly parked 'Don't Wait Down' on the in-flight playlist as of June 2014, for your delectation.
And in the midst of this phantasmagorical narrative, one thing will always remain the same: these are two of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet. If you're at a show, or you spot them on the street, don't be afraid to say hello.

The Pepper Pots veröffentlichen ihr neues Album "We Must Fight” mit zehn Jahren Bandgeschichte, sechs weiteren Longplayern im Rücken und einer Liste von weltweiten Tourneen, die sie bis in die USA, Japan, Großbritannien, Frankreich, Russland und Deutschland führten. Die Pepper Pots spielten mit Szene-Größen wie Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed und Legenden den Impressions und Maxine Brown. In dieser Zeit ist die Band gereift, hat ihre Herangehensweise an Produktion und Musik mit „We Must Fight“ verfeinert.
http://youtu.be/U-lIaMHX424
Mit "We Must Fight" haben sich die Dinge für die Pepper Pots grundlegend verändert und entwickelt. Mit Adriana Prunell und Aya Sima stehen nun zwei Sängerinnen im Vordergrund, die sich mit ihren eigenen Handschrift an der Harmonik und dem Stil der klassischen Soul-Musik der sechziger Jahren orientieren. Die Texte sind persönlicher und direkter als auf den vorherigen Alben: Heutzutage wagen sich Pepper Pots über die klassischen, persönlichen Themen des Soul um Spaß, Leben und die Liebe hinaus zum sozialen Bewusstsein und individuellem Ausdruck.
Das Klangbild der Pepper Pots orientiert sich auf „We Must Fight“ weiterhin an den sechziger Jahren, doch den Anleihen am traditionellen Motown-Sound wurden Einflüsse aus dem Deep-Soul der späten sechziger und frühen siebziger Jahre an die Seite gestellt. Mit ausgefeilten Streicherarrangements, filigraner Percussion sowie bedachtem Zusammenspiel von Keyboards und Gitarre bauen die Pepper Pots einen Groove, der auf dem letzten Album „Train To Your Lover“ bereits angedacht wurde, auf „We Must Fight“ nun jedoch ausformuliert ist. Für die Aufnahmen der zwölf eigenen, neuen Songs ging die Band natürlich in ihr eigenes, komplett analog aufgebautes Studio mit originalem Equipment aus der goldenen Ära des Soul. Das Finetuning an den Aufnahmen übernahm mit Binky Griptite von den Dap Kings einer der aktuell wichtigsten Akteure der neuen Soul-Szene, er arbeitet bereits mit Amy Winehouse, Janet Jackson, Sharon Jones, Lee Fields, Lily Allen, Ghostface Killah, Nas und Robbie Williams.
„Wir fühlen uns geehrt und sind glücklich, dass unsere Wege sich mit denen von Binky gekreuzt haben,“ sagen die Pepper Pots. „Die Leitung zwischen Girona und New York ist mittlerweile so kurz, dass wir ihm einen Titel verliehen haben, der nur wenigen zuteil wird. Binky ist ein ‚Honorary Pepper Pot’!“
The essence of hot buttered soul and sweet crunchy funk. Lisa and the LIPS will make you loose your breath and quench your thirst. Don't miss the love.
Lisa and the LIPS may come from different countries but each member comes from the same place in the heart. Soul preaching and funk reaching is the best way to describe the focus of this firefly.
