Few people have managed to combine aspects of classical, popular and experimental music from the second half of the 20th Century in a brilliant and original way. Aldemaro Romero, the orchestra conductor born in Valencia, Venezuela in 1928 arrived in Mexico in the mid-fifties on his way to the U.S. where, in 1952, he was called to accompany and arrange the recordings of singer Alfredo Sadel for RCA Victor in New York. While he was there, in 1955 he recorded the LP “Dinner in Caracas”, which became a world-wide hit, putting Venezuelan popular music in a modern and cosmopolitan light for the first time outside its borders. Later on, he’d give us another dose with “Venezuelan Fiesta”. Shortly afterwards, in Mexico City, which at the time was the record production capital of Latin America, he recorded the LP “Criollisima” at the RCA Victor studios with Pancho Cárdenas at the mixing board. Cárdenas was responsible for the brilliant, spacious sound of many of the records out at the time, especially the recordings of the sonoramic Juan García Esquvel. Romero and Esquivel had more than one thing in common. In addition to being piano virtuosos with a futuristic sense for popular music revitalized with vocal arrangements and original instrumentation, they each experimented in the recording studio and maintained a mutual admiration and friendship. Esquivel and his group even played at the Primer Festival Onda Nueva in Caracas in 1971, right along side Astor Piazzola, Dave Grustin, Augusto Algueró and Elmer Bernstein, among others.

With a mind-boggling 50-year career in the music business, 70-year old Andre Williams is showing no signs of slowing down.

The original rapper and R&B performer returns to his soulful roots on “Aphrodisiac,” enlisting the ‘Diplomats of Solid Sound’ as his backing band on this diverse an adventurous offering. Hints of blues, rock, R&B, rap and soul fill the grooves of this release that flows seamlessly from start to finish. Andre’s voice never sounded better as he tackles topics ranging from alcoholism (I’m Not Worthy), Hurricane Katrina (Thee Sisters), rejection (I Can See), and love (Do You Remember). But it’s also a fun, masterfully produced album that will transfix both past Andre fans and new listeners. Recorded in Iowa City, this is the real Andre…the real deal…from the ‘Black Godfather.’

Twenty five years later, União Black (currently União Black Band) puts out another album full of new songs with four of  its original members. Recorded in Brazil, their new album revives the characteristic heavy funk sound from their roots under the production of Daniel Collas (whose latest acclaimed project is Joe Bataan’s “Call My Name”) and Sean Marquand (the other half of the fantastic DJ team, Brazilian Beat Brooklyn). Together they are Embassy Sound Productions, a collective dedicated to introducing the best in psychedelic rock and soul. They both spent an entire month in Sao Paulo saturating themselves with the spirit and sound of the original 1977 album for the new União Black recording.

Eddie Benitez's story is full of contrasts: a classical trained child prodigy turned Latin Rock superstar while hanging out in his teen years with the likes of Charlie Palmieri (his guardian angel, as he still names him), Louie Ramirez, Tito Puente and pretty much all the crew from the Fania All-Stars... and making a name for himself while at it. His debut album on Fania, “Night Life," brought him to the spotlight in 1976, earning his band Nebula rave reviews and the props of many of his peers, including names like George Benson, Al DiMeola and Carlos Santana. He also has the distinction of being the first Latino act ever to be featured at the mythical CBGB's. His career, not to mention his life, was screech halted twice, first with cancer and most recently this past November when a massive heart attack almost swept him from us. But here he is back,on his own, back with his band Nebula and, sooner than you may expect, back with a brand new project.

Australia keep on offering bands with demoliting quality. Keep BLACK PONY EXPRESS as an example. New young band from Melbourne which surprises us with this very first album, with style, quality and knownledge
totally out of expectations. Dominion of melodies, instumentation (from the dirties and darkest guitars, to the most delicate violin strings) and vocals.
Crawling from the Australian swamp blues of the deepest Nick Cave, going through Easter Europe folk, as well as percussions that could be signed by Tom Waits, BLACK PONY EXPRESS are in the bullseye of the great new bands of  the new antipodic generation. An astonishing record which makes you feel from the beggining to the end. No doubt at all it´s a perfect record signed by these six musicians who, very soon will be sounding everywhere (we have seen it before with bands like THE DRONES).
Don´t let go this record, exclusive for Bang! Rcds. edited in deluxe triple cover digipack CD, and deluxe limited edition gatefold LP + bonus track (500 copies only).

Dennis Coffey (born in Detroit, Michigan) is an American guitarist, notable as a prominent studio musician for many soul and R&B recordings. Coffey learned to play guitar when he was 13 in Ontonagon County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. At 15 he played on his first record session backing Vic Gallon on "I'm Gone" on the Gondola label. In the early 1960s he joined The Royaltones who had had hits with "Poor Boy" in 1958 and "Flamingo Express" in 1961. The Royaltones played sessions with other artists including Del Shannon. As a member of the Funk Brothers studio band, Coffey played on dozens of recordings for Motown Records, and introduced the wah-wah guitar sound to Motown producer Norman Whitfield's recordings. He also played on Edwin Starr's "S.O.S. (Stop Her on Sight)”, The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing", and Freda Payne's "Band of Gold". In addition, Coffey scored the blaxploitation film Black Belt Jones. In 1971, Coffey recorded Scorpio which was a million selling single and in 1972 Taurus, both with The Detroit Guitar Band. Since then, he has recorded several solo albums, most of them for the Sussex and Westbound labels.

 "Some milestones of rock'n'roll magic are destined to stay where they started, and until now these early Cobras sides have done just that, languishing—like many of the musty 45s that inspired them—in attics and basements in the city in which they were created. But their time has long been overdue, and now here they are, along with a few unreleased sides from those halcyon early days, for rock ‘n’ roll fans the world over to blast loud and proud." Dexter Linwood (taken from the massive liner notes).

It Seemed Like A Good Idea ... At the Time is a work of extremes, complexity and contrast.  On the first single lifted from the album, Makin’ Eyes, moments of dark garage blues play out against splashes of peyote-fuelled Stones country rock idealism.  You Got It All fluctuates between garage rock brutality and moments of tranquil respite as Miss Kimmy’s ravaged vocals interplay with Dave Butterworth and Ryan Tandy’s guitar attack in a dialectic that walks the fine line between hope and despair.  On The Liar the Double Agents are nasty, but earnest, like a drunk pleading for a cigarette at the end of the night.  There’s old time rockin’ and rollin’ in the title track, stomping ferocity in Wasting My Time, and sun and dust stained lamenting in Sour and Vicious Man (the album’s only cover song).  It’s a little bit country, a little bit blues and a whole lot of rock’n’roll.

We are not original, we are the Origin.

Eureka Hot 3 blend the raw aged southern soul of late 60s, early 70s Funk, the free jazz, the old 50s rock & roll and the Rhythm & Blues but in a way close to Punk in terms of sound and attitude. Keeping away from revivalism they make an esential synthesis of the rhythm and the primal scream using an elemental instrumentation composed of drums, electric guitar and tenor saxophone.

Even if The Hi-Risers consider themselves a pure all American Rock-n-Roll band, in their music you can find different genres like Rhythm&Blues, Country, Doo Wop, Rockabilly, or Surf (two of their favourite bands are NRBQ and The Skeletons, if that gives you any idea!). The Hi-Risers mix all these ingredients with amazing ease, a true marvel of spontaneous versatility not seen in many years. And all without being retro at all, and without using any worn out clichés. The Hi-Risers are the keepers of the best American rock-n-roll tradition and they deliver it to today's audiences in a totally fresh and spectacular way.
