Live Konzert TwoTimers
(UK)
Since
TWO TIMERS formed their unique two-piece band in 1993 they have surprised many
thousands across Europe with the sheer power of their performance. Their
formidable reputation and unclassifiable style has earned them guest spots with
artists as diverse as the Corrs, John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Maceo Parker, Joe
Satriani and the Stranglers as well as billing on major European festivals. Now
back in the U.K. they are turning heads here fast…
Take
two multi-instrumentalists with attitude, the mesmerising Sarah James and the
taciturn Gordon Russell; throw in an electrified suitcase, a strap-on snare,
some raw harmonica and feisty vocals; steamroller the lot with some rock-solid
rhythm guitar and what have you got - one helluva show for a start. And then
there's the songs: soak up thirty years-worth of Leadbelly, Alex Harvey, Tom
Waits, T. Rex, Steve Earle, Zeppelin (I could go on), mix it with a strong dose
of your own psyche and you have something which owes them all a lot but sounds
nothing like any of them. It's an original and highly visual performance that
deserves a slot on any billing.
And
so to their new album, "Aubrey Rex and Other
Stories", is a veritable lucky bag of quirky vignettes. Dip into
the sleazy "Dirty White", a Dylanesque ballad of dead-end relationships. Dig in
deeper to the raw energy of "Good Glasses". Grin at "Everybody Else", an ode to
oddballs everywhere. Pause for thought at "Aubrey Rex" a dramatic portrait of a
war hero. It's a journey of mixed emotions and believe me, you've never been
anywhere quite like this before.
So
if you appreciate dynamic performers with a strong sense of identity, get along
to see Two Timers' show and you'll know exactly where they're coming
from.
Oh, and prepare to
be seriously
entertained…
