Band & Musician News - Kiwi icons release new single
24 November 2017 - 0 Comments
They’re
all legends in their own right.
Hammond Gamble- the esteemed and incomparable bluesman; Andy MacDonald - one of Kiwi music’s foremost blues and rock bassists; Brent Eccles - one-time drummer for some of Australasia’s greatest rock bands, including The Angels, and now the driving force behind Eccles Entertainment.
Together, they are The Disappointments.
Today, The Disappointments release Blue Paradise - the first single off their upcoming album The Disappointments, due for release in early 2018.
Blue Paradise is a rollicking blues-heavy track that packs a mighty punch delivered by Gamble’s unmistakable voice and the tight musicianship only three such accomplished players could achieve. It represents what The Disappointments are all about - making authentic and honest rock ‘n’ roll straight from the heart.
Gamble(vocals/guitar), MacDonald(bass) and Eccles’(drums) paths have crossed countless times over the decades. From the heady mid-1970's when their band Street Talk was at the beating heart of Auckland’s thriving live pub circuit, to impromptu jam sessions squeezed in between their ensuing respective careers and a brief reunion, which saw the trio open for American blues rocker,Seasick Stevein 2012.
It was while in rehearsals for the Seasick Steve show, that the trio first discussed the idea of recording new material and before they knew it, they were trading demos by email.
No project would be complete without a name. And so, after much debate and joking about what they should be called, The Disappointments were born.
The end result, however, is anything but a joke. What’s evolved is a collection of classic rock ‘n’ roll. Stay tuned!
