About Me |
|
| "One of Vancouver's most notorious musicians" - the Globe and Mail (PHOTO: Paul Hammill 2006) Big John Bates' latest album, "Take Your Medicine" (Wolverine - 2006), hit the streets rollin' and once again BJB got great airplay and support from kustom kulture and blues rock radio. Rock'n'Roll press also called it like it is - "Rip roaring, house rocking fun. Like a '57 Chevy on the road out of Helltown, Big John Bates is not stopping for anyone. Relish it in all its grungy, lo-fi glory." This attention led the band onto the 2007 summer festival scene in North America including being "the most surprising band" at Santa Monica's Summer Strummer Festival with Big John Bates & the Voodoo Dollz show featuring "fallen angels, ascending satyrs, and scathing guitar licks by the mason jar-full." "More fun than a midnight drag-race on a fifth of bourbon!" - Exclaim Magazine BJB's sound began with old-school greaser-surf of their debut disc "Flamethrower" (El Toro 2001) and grew into the rock'n'roll-exotica that defined "Mystiki" (DSR 2003). Both "Flamethrower" and "Mystiki" made their mark on national college charts, with Mystiki riding the top 50 for six consecutive weeks. Canadian Booking (Eastern): Underground Operations - kreeft@undergroundoperations.com Canadian Booking (Wetsern): Get Live Music - shannon@getlivemusic.com European Booking: Truemmer Promotions - jens@truemmerpromotion.de USA Booking: The Overbey Agency - charlieoverbey@aol.com You can get your own copy of "Mystiki", "Flamethrower", "Take Your Medicine" and the new DVD "Live at the Voodoo Ball" here at CD Baby!
