Do you play live?
All the time!1000 Shows and counting!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Good for Promotion aspect!Much more competative though as a downside.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course:)
Band History:
Martin Davies.Bass and Rhythm guitar,vocals.
Influences,..Any good rock n roll!!Chuck Berry,Little
Richard,Lennon/McCartney,Sid Vicious(!),Ray Davies,Dave Edmunds,
Played Bass guitar since the age of 18,hugely influenced by the playing
of
McCartney,John Entwistle,Bruce Foxton and James Jamerson. More live
gigs
than he cares to remember ( well over one thousand),anything from one
barman
in Stoke to 18,000 people in Tatton Park Cheshire have heard his
playing
over the last 22 years.Brings a swing to the beat that is rarely heard
of in
modern electric rock n roll bass playing.At last,a vehicle for his
songwriting in the shape of Redemption Road!
Jeff Weston.Lead and Rhythm guitar,vocals.
Hugely experienced session musician,influences..Chuck Berry,Buddy
Holly.Travis Tritt,Eric Clapton,BB King. Played guitar since the age of
14
and has jointly written the vast majority of Redemption Road with
Martin.His
style is as versatile as his collection of shoes!!Ranging from good old
country fingerpicking to melodic Blues,to the energetic vamping and
lead
passages of modern rock n roll.
Dave Lea.Piano.
Piano man extrordinaire! Influences,Art Tatum,Oscar Peterson,Jerry Lee
Lewis,Little Richard. Dave is regarded on the UK rock n roll scene as
one of
the best rockin piano players around. He brings his love of jazz music
to
the genre to produce a style that is loved by the audiences he plays
to. He
also works out the complicated orchestral pieces that are required when
he
backs the likes of Elvis’s Sweet Inspirations and the music of Billy
Fury,whose brother Albie The Persuaders have worked with many times. An
invaluable asset to The Dominators. His lead breaks on songs like “The
One
That Got Away” and “Heavy Weather’ will show what we mean.
Eddie Raynor.Drums.
What can we say about Eddie? Played on 5 no.1 singles in his home
country
New Zealand with The Exponents. Toured with members of Stevie Winwoods
band,The commodores,Brand New Heavies,and Simple Minds.Quite simply one
of
the best and most in demand session players in the North West of
England.A
priveledge according to Martin,to have had him play on the CD.
