Carina & The Six String Preacher - Liquid Think


Carina and the Six String Preacher are a great, new, musical duo that have just released their debut CD entitled, Liquid Think.
Carina and Vince use a throwback, jazzy sound to their unique advantage, all the while managing to sound unique, fresh and new.
Carina and the Six String Preacher can be found on Facebook.
CD review coming soon.

Super Water Sympathy - Hydrogen Child

SUPER WATER SYMPATHY

...is a great, new, band that is flying just under the radar.
SWS is an "underground" band...touring and paying their dues on multiple band tours and releasing great, super watery music.
Vesper Belle was the bands first "official" release and the follow up, Hydrogen Child is garnering great press.
SWS is all over the internet, check out their vids on Youtube, Facebook...etc etc

"Uh Oh" is on youtube, check it out http://youtu.be/wrRdQb4GUtM




Vesper Belle was SWSs first release and I did plan on doing a review when the CD was first submitted to me for review but life, work and musical endeavours took precedence...anyway...Vesper Belle has a fairly unique sound and I enjoy listening to the CD whenever I find a free minute or two.
Standout tracks include Spain, Cherokee, Where Creswell Ends, Siren City and Abzu.
The music can be compared to early 80's underground new wave, think Siouxsie and the Banshees with a dash of The Smiths and The Cure tossed in.
The atmospheric presence and soaring vocals will draw you into the music after a couple of listens.
Here's the official "Slade Was Made" youtube video link http://youtu.be/nKPtLomaNEo
"You Us Hey" is uptempo track from Vesper Belle http://youtu.be/3Zsu3lnOMzw

Here's the original lineup of the "55 Main" band playing @ 55 Main.



One of Dan's other recent musical projects is City Streets, featuring Larry Saunders on guitar.
This picture is from the Exposure concert.



Yet another fun music project I shared with Dan is Forever Green, which started off as duo but had a 4-piece line-up for EXP III, featuring Tony Chimera on bongos


Talented singers are in demand, this is why Dan currently sings with 3 musical projects, if you're lucky enough you might even catch Dan singing at a local open mic. Dan is so passionate about singing he finds the time to share his passion with his local church choir as well.

A Special Thank You goes out to Dan, Cheryl & 55 Main!
