You Made Us Change

As heard in season 1, episode 14 of FOX'S ROSEWOOD!

The Meltdown. It’s a bold, brassy, twangy steam train of bumping backbeats and swinging shuffles. Then there’s that voice. Sweet as honey. The voice is soul, but it’s country too and something else indefinable; like you heard it before but don’t know where… Introducing Better Days, The Meltdown’s first release on HopeStreet Recordings.

There’s a fair chance you haven’t heard that voice before, because for the last few years Simon Burke has been flying small planes out of small airfields in the dusty backcountry and taking refuge from the hustle and grind of the music business to raise a young family. The time off has been fruitful. A lifetime of writing and experience is condensed into a golden set of songs and a killer new band, The Meltdown, which Simon formed in collaboration with saxophonist and arranger Lachlan McLean. Great vibe, great players, great sound, but it’s the songs that are king here.

There are a lot of soul revival bands around, but the Meltdown’s angle is different  – Simon and Lachlan are both pretty country and The Meltdown has more than a bit of that Ray Charles country via gospel thing, and a taste of dirty blues in it too. Echoes of towns like Euroa and Avenel, where the boys blew in from, or just artistic license? Either way, if there’s one thing that soul and country can both do for you, it’s songs about heartbreak, so here’s some rippers. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you the inimitable voice and songwriting of Mr Simon Burke. And yes, in advance, you’re welcome.

Warm Up Set Slynk's Funky Fresh Tour 2018 @Rumpus Room

Brand new single from Dojo Cuts Easy to come home album. 

Dojo Cuts - My Lovin Is All About You

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

Memphis Soul Stew was a 1967 single by the great saxman King Curtis. By introducing the instruments one by one, it famously shows how the classic Memphis sound was built up.

It also happens to be fantastic to dance to. Except for one thing. At 2 minutes and 55 seconds long the single is too short. Every time the fade hits, just when the band is in ecstatic overdrive, I want it to keep going. So one day I put the song into my favourite sonic software and made a few cunning edits that extend it by almost a minute to 3.47, long enough to get some serious rocks off.

Play loud - and mind the furniture.
