After his second album Seasick Steve won the Award for Best Breakthrough Act in UK in 2007. Then he made an all sold out UK tour, included performances at the Royal Albert Hall, The Edinburgh Queens Hall, the Grand Opera House in Belfast or the London Hammersmith Apollo. He was 66 at the time of breakthrough.
Before the success he was an itinerant street musician in France and Scandinavia. His first album, entitled Cheap, was released in Norway in 2001. He arrived to Europe from USA, where he was born in 1941. At 8 he learned to play the guitar from K.C. Douglas, who worked at his grandfather’s garage. K.C. was influenced by the great delta blues musician, Tommy Johnson. K.C. had a big hit in 1949, the Mercury Boogie. It was later renamed to Mercury Blues
Seasick Steve would be a hobo, travelled by freight trains sure, and worked as a seasonal farm worker, but sometimes joined various travelling shows. In the 1960s he started touring and performing with fellow blues musicians. Then he worked as session musician, studio engineer and producer for lil independent labels around Seattle in the 90s…
Some fellow musicians of his new album: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin, bass, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, organ), Jack White (White Stripes) and Luther Dickinson (Black Crows, guitar)…

Todd Tamanend Clark started out listening to his mother’s Yma Sumac records as a child in the 1950s. Some of his favorites were Bo Diddley and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Then he heavily influenced by the 60’s psychedelic rock bands like Jimi Hendrix Experience, Doors, Electric Prunes and particularly the United States of America, in consequence of their synthesizers. He has fallen in love with these instruments. Then there were some bands from the end of the 60s sure, but rather he worked with occasionally collaborators. For example Cheetah Chrome (Rocket from The Tombs – David Thomas’ pre-Pere Ubu band, Dead Boys) or W. S. Burroughs. The Aardvark Thru Zymurgy LP was recorded and released in 1977 under the name of New Gods:

After 2 Years Psychiatric Treatment
here is the full new album of the Berlin resident notorious Canadian garage rocker King Khan and his big band The Shrines. But first some words about his previous things.
His infamous garage rock band was The Spaceshits between 1995-99. It was well known for their violent stage shows. Their sets lasted no longer than 10 to 15 minutes because the band or members of the audience would create disturbances, including fireworks or food fights. The band’s shows would lead them to be effectively blacklisted from many venues in Montreal. During the European tour King Khan has decided to remain in Berlin, hereby the Spaceshits disbanded. In same year he has formed his garage rock psychedelic soul outfit The King Khan & The Shrines. The band’s percussionist, Ron Streeter formerly played for Ike and Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau. The organist is Fredovitch, the French multi-instrumentalist.

“Here’s 3 ugly lookin blokes, tourin’ the world, playin at all these wonderful cities, dining at all these wonderful restaurants, meeting all these famous people. In the back of ya head I’m thinking to myself ‘Im a fuckin’ farmer!” – one of the members of Cosmic Psychos said.* The old Aussie punk rock band formed in 1982, and over some line-up change and an untimely death by heart attack they still rock on. Their music is garage punk hard rock’n’roll like Motörhead, Stooges or Ramones. Strange though it may appear they had a significant influence on the Seattle Sound in the 90s through their some fans: Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Buzz Osbourne (The Melvins) or Donita Sparks (L7). Now the Goner and the Aussie Aargth Records re-release their first three albums.1st track from 1987, 2nd & 3rd from 1989.
*I Love My Tractor – is the title of their latest and live album (2013)
