EL TORO R&B 204 - COMIN’
ON LIKE GANGBUSTERS
All the years of experience
the band’s accumulated since its first album in 2003 have
produced this, their finest record yet. After years of non- stop
touring all over Europe – and occasionally the USA –
building up a solid fan base, they finally shut themselves in the
studio in 2006 and emerged with “Comin’ on Like Gangbusters”,
another leap forward in their musical career.
13 self-penned compositions , divided between Blas Picón
and Mario Cobo: Jump Swingin’ West Coast Blues Lazy Jumpers
style. It’s taking nothing away from the guys’ impressive
instrumental skills to
say that these recordings are more about songs than virtuosity.
The new addition of David García on drums has really nailed
down that backbeat, creating a perfect partnership with Barcelona’s
own
undisputed king of the stand-up bass, Mr. Ivan Kovacevic. Mario
Cobo on guitar just keeps evolving, taking that instrument only
he knows where, and Blas Picón blows the harp and shouts
and croons the
blues like he’s never done before. It’s common sense
versus histrionics. Taste versus exhibitionism. The Lazy Jumpers
give an object lesson in honesty every time and every way they play
music, whether it’s covers or their own stuff. It’s
the honesty of people doing something for themselves, the way they
like it, because they like it.
Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Swing and Boogie are the basic ingredients
of this Barcelona band’s set. Traditional ingredients mixed
together into a fresh, original sound which combines with their
onstage energy to give a whole new meaning to the phrase “Live
Music”. The band is Blas Picón (lead vocals and harmonica),
Mario Cobo(guitar and vocals), Ivan Kovacevic (stand-up bass) and
Davis García (drums). They’ve gigged in Spain a and
the rest of Europe, a few festivals in the USA, and they’re
now regulars on the UK blues circuit. Their new CD “Comin’
on like Gangbusters” follows their previous
ones “Somebody tell that woman” (2003) and “Bad
Luck” (2005) - all available on Toro Records.
