Live: TROPICAL BLUES BAND ( Rocknroll - US)
The Experimental Tropic Blues Band presents 'Liquid Love' -
Made in New York.
The Experimental Tropic Blues Band presents ‘Liquid Love’ – Made in New York.
“Boogie Snake”, “Dirty Coq” and “Devil d’Inferno” recorded their third album in New
York in March 2011, at NY HED Studio, run by Matt Verta Ray (Heavy Trash).
For this third album, the band has called upon the services of a leading expert in rock
and roll of the last twenty years, but above all a fucking musician and an outstanding
producer: Jon Spencer!
Mr Spencer allowed them to make the album they have always wanted to make: an
old-style record, with analogical tapes as only master!
At NY HED, there was no Pro-tools, no restarting endlessly to achieve perfection,
everything was done in the moment! Spontaneity and the unexpected
sublimated the errors and breathed life into these tracks.
By recording the noisy pipes of the heating system, unsheathing his guitar, urging
the band to play with instruments they had never touched, Jon Spencer sent packing
the clichés of the studio. He made of this session a playful, rock’n’roll and full of life
experience, whose evidence is the record you are holding in your hands.
With the boss of Blues Explosion on the passenger seat, The Experimental Tropic
Blues Band rushes at top speed through the dirtiest streets of the City, driving on
sidewalks and belching his epileptic rock.
‘Liquid Love’, whose name is borrowed from a black meeting club on Bedford
Avenue, talks about fantasies, sex, love and burgers.
In ten years of career, the band has given its heart and soul to rock and roll all across
Europe, but also in Canada and the United States (it played at SXSW in Austin and
at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis). It had the opportunity to be next
to some of its most distinguished peers, namely, in bulk: The Cramps, Bob Log III,
André Williams, Jim Jones, The Black Lips, JSBX, Heavy Trash, only to mention a
few!
With ‘Liquid Love’, the “Tropics” are no longer just real stage animals, they are also a
real studio band now.
The album cover is signed by Olivier Donnet. The guy who takes pictures of the
bands, all sweaty and dirty, right after their concerts (One Minute After).
Time for some dirty rock’n’roll.
Express bio:
The Tropics have two albums under their belt: ‘Hellelujah’ (2007) and ‘Captain
Boogie’ (2009).
The Tropics had Arno play the harmonica on their first album.
The Tropics played on the Ex-drummer Soundtrack. A Belgian compromise
between “Trainspotting” and “C’est arrivé près de chez vous”.
The Tropics covered The Cramps, The Gun Club, and just started to tackle No Fun by
The Stooges, the B side of The Best Burger.
The Tropics have no bass. That’s right, like the Blues Explosion of their producer Jon
Spencer.
