A showcase for former Small Faces' frontman Steve Marriott and one -time Herd guitar virtuoso Peter Frampton, the hard rock outfit Humble Pie formed in Essex, England in 1969. Also featuring ex-Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley along with drummer Jerry Shirley, the fledgling group spent the first several months of its existence locked away in Marriott's Essex cottage, maintaining a relentless practice schedule. Signed to the Immediate label, Humble Pie soon issued their debut single "Natural Born Boogie," which hit the British Top Ten and paved the way for the group's premiere LP, As Safe as Yesterday Is.

After touring the U.S. in support of 1969's Town and Country, Humble Pie returned home onl y to discover that Immediate had declared bankruptcy. The band recruited a new manager, Dee Anthony, who helped land them a new deal with A&M; behind closed doors, Anthony encouraged Marriott to direct the group towards a harder-edged, grittier sound far removed from the acoustic melodies favored by Frampton. As Marriott's raw blues shouting began to dominate subsequent LPs like 1970's eponymous effort and 1971's Rock On, Frampton's role in the band he co-founded gradually diminished; finally, after a highly charged U.S. tour which yielded 1971's commercial breakthrough Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore, Frampton exited Humble Pie to embark on a solo career.
After enlisting former Colosseum guitarist Dave "Clem" Clempson to fill the void, Humble Pie grew even heavier for 1972's Smokin', their most successful album to date. However, while 1973's ambitious double studio/live set Eat It fell just shy of the Top Ten, its 1974 follow-up Thunderbox failed to crack the Top 40. After 1975's Street Rats reached onl y number 100 before disappearing from the charts, Humble Pie disbanded; while Shirley formed Natural Gas with Badfinger alum Joey Molland, and Clempson and Ridley teamed with Cozy Powell in Strange Brew, Marriott led Steve Marriott's All-Stars before joining a reunited Small Faces in 1977.

In 1980, Marriott and Shirley re-formed Humble Pie with ex-Jeff Beck Group vocalist Bobby Tench and bassist Anthony Jones. After a pair of LPs, 1980's On to Victory and the following year's Go for the Throat, the group mounted a troubled tour of America: after one injury-related interruption brought on when Marriott mangled his hand in a hotel door, the schedule was again derailed when the frontman fell victim to an ulcer. Soon, Humble Pie again dissolved; while Shirley joined Fastway, Marriott went into seclusion. At the dawn of the 1990s, he and Frampton made tentative plans to begin working together onc e more, but on April 20, 1991, Marriott died in the fire which destroyed his 16th century Arkesden cottage. He was 44 years old.
[참 조] ▒ ▒ ▒ The Oscar Jordan Band - Biography ▒ ▒ ▒ |
Born on the south side of Chicago, the seeds of Oscar Jordan's musical eclecticism was planted at an early age. From the Harry Belafonte, folk, and opera records played by his grandmother, to the rock, soul, and jazz records played by his mother and father. Of course growing up in Chicago there was no escape from the blues, and when he later took up the guitar, his lessons in the blues would last decades. Oscar: "I remember hearing all kinds of stuff growing up. Marian Anderson, Charlie Pride, Billie Holiday, even Tennessee Ernie Ford. I still know the lyrics to "Sixteen Tons." I also loved James Brown, Motown, and The Jackson 5 like all the other kids in the neighborhood, but it was Paul McCartney's Ram album that changed my life. That album was my introduction to white rock, and in particular The Beatles. For the rest of my life I would be labeled "The black guy who likes white boy music."
Throughout high school Oscar taught himself to play acoustic guitar but it wasn't until he joined the army that his whole guitar philosophy changed. "I heard a guitarist playing in the barracks who could play the first two Van Halen albums note for note on a cheap Les Paul copy and a pig nose amp. It blew my mind. Edward Van Halen changed the whole guitar landscape. Before that I was playing acoustic pop folk. After that I was obsessed with Van Halen and great guitarists of all styles. I became obsessed with Al DiMeola, Steve Morse, Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Carlos Santana, and later Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is a fountain of creativity."
After his stint in the army, he attended Chicago's prestigious Goodman School of Drama at DePaul University where he received a B.F.A. from their acting program. During this time he was attending blues jams at Kingston Mines Blues Club, jamming with jazz guitar students from the near by music school, and playing pop rock with the band The Excitable Boys. After graduation Oscar exercised his acting muscles and performed roles in films, television, plays, and commercials. He relocated to Los Angeles in 1990 and appeared in such films as I Love Trouble starring Julia Roberts, Life starring Eddie Murphy, and A Few Good Men starring Jack Nicholson. He also appeared in numerous commercials and TV shows such as Seinfeld, China Beach, Melrose Place, and ER.
It was during his short tenure as co-director of the Los Angeles chapter of The Black Rock Coalition that Oscar underwent a holy blues conversion. "I was at a Black Rock Coalition concert and the lead guitarist for a band was playing frantically and flailing his long dreadlocks around in a circle over his head in a wide arc. I had an epiphany. I thought to myself, "He's going to look really silly doing this when he's 50. I wanted to invest my energy into music that was timeless." After immersing himself in the guitar styles of Albert Collins, Little Jimmy King, and Luther Allison, Oscar formed a blues band. He later studied at The National Guitar Summer Workshop, and won a scholarship to the American Film Institute's Screen Writing Program for his original screenplay Derrick.
His first album, the critically acclaimed Mister Bad Luck, was released in 2001. "Mister Bad Luck was a reaction to all the blues albums I hated. Instead of having a blues artist be forced into a stylistic corner for marketing purposes, I wanted to write an album that covered more than one narrow facet of the blues. Blues is bigger than any one style. Miles Davis playing "All Blues" is just as valid as Muddy Waters playing "Got My Mojo Workin."
As a music journalist Oscar also contributed to such publications as Univibes, Vintage Guitar, Mojo, and Music Connection Magazine. In July of 2004 his second album Eclectic Soul was released and draws from his life experience and many influences to create a fresh and varied collection of original compositions. While his connection to the blues is still evident, Oscar adds to the mix other ingredients such as funk, rock, Latin, gospel, r&b, and jazz; weaving a diverse tapestry of solid material.
"Who grows up with a strict diet of blues? When I began compiling songs for Eclectic Soul, it seemed like a bunch of great songs that should be on different albums. I later came to realize that it was because contemporary albums are so genre specific. On a heavy rock album you get heavy rock, on a blues album you get blues. Eclectic Soul is a throw back to rock albums of the 60's and 70's. Those albums had stylistic leaps from song to song. Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Traffic, showed us a wider musical picture. You heard the heaviest rock song, an acoustic composition, and after that blues. Eclectic Soul is an honest musical creation. It's not about labels and name tags. It's just good music."
Oscar continues to play live dates with his band The Mighty Sons of Hercules, working as a freelance writer for music publications, and writing screenplays.
[참 조] ▒ ▒ ▒ Burning Plague - Biography ▒ ▒ ▒ |
Burning Plague is a hard blues band that was founded at the end of the sixties in and around Brussels as an answer to the reigning British and Dutch "blues boom" at that time (together with bands such as Kleptomania, Jenghiz Khan, Doctor Downtrip, Irish Coffee ...).
Initially, the group consisted of Michael Heslop, Alex Capelle, Roger Carlier and Willy Stassen. Also Johan Verminnen was part of the group for a short while.
 |
They specialized themselves in hard blues and boogie, as was recorded on their debut album "Burning Plague" of 1970. Thanks to "mythical songs" such as "A38", "Life is Nonsense" and "Night Travelin' Man" this album became a - for the genre - huge success (over 10,000 sold copies and a first place in the "PopHot"-hitparade of Telemoustique).
Naturally, the group also did a large number of live gigs in Belgium, among which featured a place at Jazz Bilzen of 1970 (the lineup included Black Sabbath and The Kinks that year). After a tour of Zaire together with Danny Lademacher's Kleptomania the group got disbanded.
However, in 1992 the band started a second life. There was a reunion in the "Grain d'Orge" in Brussels with Paul Vandevelde (ex Dr. Downtrip) on the drums. He was replaced two years after by Marc Ysaye (a radio-dj and drummer of Machiavel, Purple Prose and others). The reason for this reunion was explained in the lyrics of the song "23 years ago" : "Yes about 23 year ago today, we gave up playing, we thought it would be for good. But here we are back and to stay, and nobody thought that we would. The good old guitar is still crying, and the amps are cranked up to ten. We're still night travelin' men, so the good old Plague is back together again."
In 1995 Alex Capelle left the band, but he was replaced by Alain Pire (Such a Noise, Huy, Abbey Road). There even was a second CD of Burning Plague, and they got to open the fast growing Boogie Town Festival of that year (with John Mayall as top-of-the-bill). That not everybody is so happy with old blues groups reemerging, was proven by Jacky Huys in his review for Knack : "Totally passe is Burning Plague with their reunion-yawn Two".
Marc Ysaye played with Burning Plague until 1998, when the also reunited Machiavel got so busy again that he couldn't afford to play with another group. Mario Zola took his place.
In 1999 the original Burning Plague-LP of 1970 was re-released on CD and there was a Live CD (Burning Plague Live At Last). Their motto "They still got the natural born boogie and they need you to make the next gig a Burning blues night" was also to be heard at the Peer Rhythm & Blues Festival.
