Free Music Review: GREAT LIVE BAND - PLUGGED OR UNPLUGGED
Hit: 5 Stars
The Brand New Heavies are the "real thing" when it comes to their music. Like those funk and rock bands of the '70's. That could jam all night and turn a 3 minute song into a 20 minute jamfest.I was in Paris through the late '80's and early 90's trying to get some play as a lyricist. I wrote for great afro-french artists Niyanka, Kova Rea, produced by a young Guadalopean musical genius Gary Volet. Although everyone said I looked like Neneh Cherry, and should get into perfoming pop, I wasn't interested in being on stage only in writiing for those who craved the spotlight.
I worked at Les Bains Douches and hung out with avant garde African and Morroccan musicians on the perepherique of Paris where the trendy feared to go. A dark complexioned German-Spanish recent MIT grad/roomate Eric Wolf turned me on this parallel universe of tenements and project studios (felt just like Brooklyn) on the outskirts of Paris where Some of the best bands, yet undiscovered rehearsed and shared a wealth of music that's probably way beyond the comprehension of mainstream music. I wish they let the floodgates open. MTV couldn't handle it.
Anyway, a Miami friend sent me to stay with a family in London, home town friends from Balina Ireland, to pursue my career there. After several months, using the poems as lyrics to several songs on Jimi Polo's album (which I registered in France, yet have not seen any royalties from-Beware you up and coming ambitious writers) I was walking along Denmark street in London when two Rastas approached me and asked me if I could sing. I told them I enjoy singing, but I prefered to write. They henceforth steered me directly into the acid jazz office, and introduced me to Jan and the guys from the Brand New Heavies.
They were preparing to leave for the U.S. for their last tour with Ndea Davenport. I like her and their music together. They told me to meet them for rehearsal at Kings Crossing in 2 weeks, they gave me the cassette to memorize and rehearse. We spent hours going over "Dream come true" and the other songs and let me tell you, to be small in numbers, they rock like a large band. I told the band that I would love to write music with them. They spent a great deal of time with me, grooming, critiquing, laughing, playing music. They made me feel like an old friend, or better yet, a fellow musician. They told me to meet up with them on their return from concert. I couldn't hang out longer than the 8 months I spent in London because I had no more money to live on, I returned to France where my student visa afforded me the chance to work (I couldn't work in London), legally. The experience alone made me appreciate this band that I had not had much exposure to. The heavies rule!
