0 UK 2009-06-24T11:06:23Z Introducing psychedelic garage rockers Rodeo Massacre with their latest release ‘Heartaches & Wonders’, a record that captures the uniqueness and power of their live shows and will surely propel their level of credibility into orbit. A Swedish/French psychedelic rock trio, Rodeo Massacre make an immediate impact. From the striking Scandinavian lead singer Izzy Lindqwister and her powerful voice to the swirling wurlitzer solos, Rodeo Massacre conjure up the soulful musical spirit of the 1960’s. ‘Heartaches and Wonders’ perfectly encapsulates the live show, harnessing the band’s on stage chemistry while also being intricate and interesting enough to warrant repeated listens. As a recent live review in London Tourdates states: “Their brand of late 60s acid rock feels refreshing in its rich homage to the past. Izzy is a formidable prospect on stage – a cross between Marianne Faithful and Mick Jagger by way of Patti Smith (with all the curious androgyny you’d expect from such a description).” Co-founder Zorba, from France, brings killer riffs to the songs and a unique guitar texture to the overall Rodeo Massacre sound. The once introverted Zorba now occupies a central role in the band, playing both guitar and drums and providing the vital chemistry in the rumbustious flurries of hair that are the Rodeo Massacre live shows. Rodeo Massacre is completed by Ulf ‘The Wolf ’ Westergren who supplies an exuberance of musicality in the form of bass, guitar, organ and piano, both in the studio and on stage. Zorba and The Wolf ’s ability to lend their hand to many an instrument has enabled Rodeo Massacre to now become a three piece which has defined the band’s sound; achieving a uniquely simple, accessible psychedelia, with just three musicians whose complete sound is far greater than the sum of its parts. Having already released a record on Paris fashion label “April 77” to great artistic acclaim and having toured France and other areas of Europe extensively, as well as being main support for Franz Ferdinand and Dirty Pretty Things, it is now time for Rodeo Massacre to conquer the UK. ‘Heartaches and Wonders’ will be released by Smoky Carrot Records on 26th October 2009 and will be available worldwide via digital download, and a strictly limited number of vinyl will be sold through selected retailers around the UK and Europe. 0 17783 757 0 Rodeo Massacre - Heartaches and Wonders true 44 false 4 2009-09-19T16:28:30Z 19903 0
