Pussy Warmers


I came across the Swiss record label on the way out of Caroline Music in Brussels today. Playing in the background was some down and dirty rock. Asking the dude behind the counter what it was, I was told it was a band called Roy And The Devil's Motorcycle and that the album was called Because Of Women. He also proudly showed me their stash of CDs from the same independent record label stating that they were all excellent. A trip to their website, www.voodoorhythm.com, when I got back uncovered this gorgeous cover of the album Pussy Warmers. It also features a model of the month, a trick labels like Chiswick, Bronze and SPV could have incorporated into their respective sites.

Excellent name, excellent cover, excellent label. I do like cats.

By the way, early listenings to Roy And The Devil's Motorcycle indicate they could be a band to listen out for in the future. A great cover of Johnny B. Goode and a lead vocalist like a paired down Mick Jagger. Laid back dirty delta blues guitar accompanies a slow back beat. Music to sit in your hammock to and drink Southern Comfort. Now back to the model of the month page...

Summer Love - The Narcotic Daffodils 🌞❤

1.  Summer Love 2. Naturally High 3.  Guardians 4. Hypnotized 5. You can't get 6. Bruxelles 7.  Atomic 53 It's been three years since the band's last album, Cellex, was released, and there have been a number of personnel changes since then, with Luna taking up vocal duties, Arne the drums and Maria the Guitar. I remember hearing Maria playing with an all-girl band many years ago and they blew me away, so the prospect of her joining the Narcotic Daffodils  was exciting. As before, the bass is supplied by the inimitable Flupke with Simon providing Sitar and keyboard licks on the Hammond. 1. Summer Love Any fears that the new lineup have lost the spirit of the old are quickly dispelled by the opening and title track of the album, Summer Love. Gilly Smythe, Gong # style, whisper-voices draw you in before Flupke's bass kicks in with the Hammond, underpinning, proceedings. The song ends with a melange of Sitar and synth, underlining the fact that the ...

Daffodils & Crêpes

Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crepe eating crowd, A host, of narcotic daffodils. L'amuse Gueule crêperie, a strange venue for music, but in psychedelia strange is good. The last pancakes were munched, the diners departed and the strains of a sitar filled the air. Cue guitar, bass & drums and some hypnotic, pulsating music from The Narcotic Daffodils . At times reminiscent of Hawkwind in their prime, the band produced a wall of sound that had me in head banging heaven. They did however vary their sound quite a bit, with two covers thrown into the mix for good measure. Personally I'd like to hear them do more psychedelic material, but speaking to keyboardist and Sitar maestro Simon Rigot after the show, they want to keep their music varied. But hey, a heady cocktail of rock and mind expanding melodies is OK by me. I'd also like to hear more Sitar, but as Simon also plays keyboards that would be a tad ...
