Various – Soundflat Records Ballroom Bash! Vol. 12: CD, Compilation

Description

Here comes the 12th edition of the Soundflat Records Ballroom Bash compilation CD – the “soundtrack” of our legendary annual label festival. Like every year, this CD contains songs (- partly previously unreleased!) by each of the bands playing at this wild festival in Cologne. This year the compilation features songs by THE GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENTS, LES ENVAHISSEURS, KING CORNELIUS & THE SILVERBACKS, LES SEPARATWISTS, THE HARA-KEE-REES, THE READY-MADES and THE BARKELLITERS. This CD is a fantastic item for your personal collection of Garage&Rock’n’Roll-memorabilia and souvenirs, but also a great selection of today’s 60’s Garage- and Beat-bands. A CD that shouldn’t be missing from your shelf!
THE GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENTS – Wild Freakbeat/Mod-sound with a groovy organ
The Gentlement’s Agreements started in 2011 as a side project of five friends/musicians (members of Towerbrown, Sheetah Et Les Weissmüller, Penelope, The Fuggets and Les Braqueurs) – and what came out of it is a crazy and powerful Freakbeat/Mod-sound! Blue-eyed soul with a jazzy organ to shimmy and shake to!
LES ENVAHISSEURS – Powerful 60’s GoGo Garage!
A combination of partly English, but mainly French male vocals and female (background) vocals harmonising with some wild guitars and keyboards add up to a fine 60s Garagerock with a French Yéyé-touch.
KING CORNELIUS & THE SILVERBACKS – Monkey Power-Pop-Garage-Pop-Punk directly from the Jungle!
One real monkey, hunted and captured by a sturdy band known as THE SILVERBACKS will kick your ass with a brilliant fun surf-pop-punk-sound direct from the jungle! Chimpanzee Garage Pop-Punk meets Jungle R&B!
LES SEPARATWISTS – Sleazy Burlesque Tittyshaking R&R-Twist
LES SEPARATWISTS will take you on a journey through time with their exotic, seducing mix of instrumental 50s/60s Surf, R’n’B and Twist! A cool saxophone, twangy guitars and a hot rhythm from beginning to end!
THE HARA-KEE-REES – Raw mid-sixties Garage-Beat & Punk explosion
Not only their live-shows are full of power due to their fuzz-guitarsound mixed in a cocktail of driving organ, crying sax, wild bass and drum-rhythm and the top-noch vocals that will take you all to a manic, wild jump, jive and harmonise ecstasy.
THE READY-MADES – authentic 60’s R&B-Soul-Beat with unbelievably charming but powerful female vocals!
The Ready-Mades are the sensation of R&B and Soul heaven! This band knows how to get people to dance. They have the right mix of American black music of the 50s & 60s together with British Beat music and French YéYé sounds!
THE BARKELLITERS – Woof, Woof, Woof… … and I said Woof, from Woofsville!
The Barkelliters are four doggish Satelliters-Fans, who will cover some of their favourite songs by their favourite band, The Satelliters. A must for all “garage-dogs”! 100% trash-factor!
