KING
SALAMI & THE CUMBERLAND 3 - "COOKIN' UP A PARTY" CD - OTH 7126
It’s one
of my regular rants, but the 21st Century really does suffer from a dearth of
good, original R’n’B (no, not Rhianna, rhythm and blues you fools). I mean, the
trad rockabilly circuit has got the classic rock n roll sounds covered, but
where’s a boy supposed to go when he’s finished with Ray Charles and wants
something with a bit more teeth?
Step in London’s King Salami and The Cumberland Three. Playing a potent
blend of sausage-influenced gonzo rhythm and blues, fronted by the eponymous
maraca brandishing King Salami, part manic Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, part
Symarip-style gang leader, this is just the tonic for a world that’s forgotten
how to dance.
Following up nicely where 2010s Fourteen Blazin’ Bangers left off, I
suppose perhaps the extra-special ingredient in the King’s secret recipe,
beyond the mans own charisma, is a big dash of punk energy from ex-members of
The Parkinson’s, amongst others. Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming either.
It’s not a direct musical link, but you can see some of that vibe soaking
through in these two and a half minute blasts.
You could argue that maybe this is a bit of a 50s/60s Americana
throwback, and yeah there is the odd knowing wink to the High School Dance et
al, but really, good rhythm is timeless. Thoroughly recommended for anyone that
likes to move their hips, click their fingers and swing, as well as just going
a bit mental.
LOS CHICOS "IN THE AGE OF
STUPIDITY" CD - OTH 7122
Beck, in a Spanish press conference, said: “Los
Chicos are my favourite Spanish band.”
Los Chicos is a five-man rock’n’roll machine constructed from the best parts of all the best components of 20th century rock’n’roll and rythm’n’blues. They put the ingredients into the mix...and then kick the livin’ shite out of it! It's a sound that, on stage, explodes into a powerful and exhuberant rock'n'roll party.
Featuring a line up that makes the Cramps’ audience at Napa State look normal – a fast talking highclimbing frontman, a shaven-headed evil Doctor Pineapple, a bubble-permed bassist, and last but not least the only real twin guitar team treading the boards today, Spain’s best band gather new fans everywhere they go. It's your turn next!
For this, their fifth album, recorded in the summer heat of Madrid in four days and mixed in another three by Mike Mariconda, Los Chicos have collaborated with well-respected Spanish artistes such as Josele Santiago from Los Enemigos and Hendrik Röver from Los Deltonos.
There cannot be a more direct, more raw, less artificial recording available today. In the Spain of today this is the only way to deal with the problems, primarily economic, affecting Spanish society and the band members in particular: beer, good parties and much laughter. And this comes out in the recording, along with a dash of anger. And, in part thanks to the current climate, this may be the most powerful sound they’ve ever achieved.
