With work beginning on their debut CD (currently untitled), the Huey P's are at it again. After winning the 7 th Annual Battle of the Bands in Covington, Louisiana, the band immediately plunged into Ghostfish Studios with Duane Edmisten (or as we know him 'D') to start recording. Brian and Rick Strahan (yes, they are brothers) and Doug Stepanek (the stepchild) are bringing new life to the local sound. As a trio, the band's unique chemistry is fast making them a premier band in the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the Northshore areas.
Band/artist history
From the beginning, The Huey P's have had one goal set for themselves and thier music. To bring rock and roll back to the local music scene with equal doses of self expression, ultimate care for the classics and a kick ass musical party. The Huey P's started as a few friends who loved to play and quickly evolved into a project that seemed to have a life of its own. Thier onstage antics combined with a manicured delivery of musical talent allows them to remain an entertaining show with a unique song list including club favorites mixed with the classics and even todays hits. The Huey P's song choices provide an edge that engrosses music lovers and packs the dance floor allowing everyone in earshot to experience the highest form of entertainment and good times.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
The Huey P's put on a rockin' show lasting 4, sometimes 5 hours. From the first word on the mic to the last buzz on the frets, you can tell that The Huey P's are all about the music. We live it and breathe it.
Your musical influences
Doug Stepanek A member of several recording and writing collaborations, Doug hails from Slidell, Louisiana. His influences vary from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden to the old school rhythm and blues such as Duck Dunne and James Jamerson. His vocals have been named as one of the most distinguishable voices on the Northshore. There is no stopping when his soulfull vocals and pulsing rhythms fill the room. Rick Strahan A veteran of the local music scene, and resident of Pine, Louisiana, Rick has performed with bands such as Savannah (with Big Daddy Owen Tufts) and Burning Blue. His drumming technique has made him one of the most sought after drummers/percussionists and has established him as a dedicated, highly respected musician. He lists his influences as Kenny Aaronoff and Neil Pert. Brian Strahan Brian is currently a resident of Hammond, Louisiana and has played with local artists such as Russell Walker and Burning Blue. His driving rhythms and energetic leads add to the charisma of The Huey P's. His individualized style and sound has developed from his many influences ranging from country and southern rock to alternative metal.

REVIEWS from Soundclick Listeners! Ranch Says: Hey The Huey P's! Ugly Disposition...Very cool rockin' tune!....Very tight musicianship! Vocals are powerful and go along with this rocking tune perfectly! Double bass and cymbals on the drums is done with a lot of integrity, as should any drummers that admire Neil Peart! Guitar and bass interweave and just beg for third party air-guitar playing...In fact if I wasn't typing right now...... The tone and feel of this tune is addictiing, and the listener finds himself stomping his foot and bopping his head around in ways that might actually be damaging....Oh, what the heck....... Cool song! Rock On The Huey P's! reyvee61 says: The rec quality here is pretty damn good and everything is well balanced. The guitars have a really good tone and there is good use of space. Nice and clear!! The performance is tight and everyone is good at what they do, including the vocals, lots of projection but I'm not sure whats being said lyrically. It appears that this is a more subtle approach to the oppisite sex than the last song I reviewed on this thread!! But like I said, to each their own! This is typical of this genre (Hard Rock) but with a retro feel ala Golden Earring! Check it out if this is your cup of tea!!
