A LITTLE DIDDY ABOUT THE BANDS:
BIG JOHN BATES
http://www.bigjohnbates.com/
Big John Bates takes the feel of blues-based roots rockabilly and fuel-injects it with his vision of rock'n'roll; adding his big Gretsch sound to his pulp-fiction style lyrics. The talented sCare-oline brings her upright bass, her harmony vocals, and her passion for the sounds of the American-gothic. With the addition of Krupa-influenced drummer StageCoach, this world-class trio extensively tours North America & Europe - adding the wild world of burlesque to their live show by choreographing numbers with the Voodoo Dollz!
He walloped you with a raw-throated howl overtop of driving guitars one minute then hit you with a heartfelt acoustic ballad the next. His expressive, insightful lyrics took you to a place you'd been before - while the infectious melodies let you know you'd be back. Ears ringing with the sound of a powerful, gritty twang you don't know whether to laugh, cry or yell at the top of your lungs. You've found yourself in the middle of a sonic funhouse that is Rich Hope, the band and the man.
12 MIDNITE'S UGLY SONGS FOR PRETTY GIRLS
http://www.12midnite.com
12 Midnite has once more successfully shifted gears on his carreer, this time re-inventing himself as Billy-bill Midnite, "Grunge Country" poster boy, setting aside the spray gun and paint brushes for the time being while he focuses on creating his own brand of gritty, urban country music with his band of punk rock expatriots: Suicide Ride, that has already got the industry sitting up and taking note. So far, two major labels have backed out because of Midnite's refusal to clean up his lyrics for radio airplay...nevertheless recording is ongoing for the new album and a C.D. single is set to be released to radio in the very near future......
