Up beat rock song with vocal harmonies and crunchy guitars

Ride On

Alternative Funk Rock from Newcastle, UK

www.downtownlesterbrown.com

In 2011, four young men began a band. They called it Downtown Lester Brown because it sounded funny. But the character of Lester grew to become more real than any of them, and he employed coercion and blackmail to force them to do his funky bidding.

Assumed dead in 2016, Lester now stalks the streets once more, craving spicy riffs and with an insatiable bloodlust for cinematic sounds and mysterious lyrical escapades.

Downtown Lester Brown are:
Ben Taylor (rhythm guitar, vocals)
Ian 'Eesh' Henderson (bass guitar)
Tom Oldfield (drums, vocals)
Steve Casey (lead guitar, keyboard)

I just compose anything I like. No hip-hop or pop. Experimental, sentimental, orchestral music are majors ones of which I know the categories. Keep genre expectations to the minimum. I have no problem in breaking them.

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

Guitarist playing blues, rock, jazz, rockabilly, classical and anything else I can! I create instrumental music where the bedrock is usually my 30 years of guitar playing and finding new ways to express myself.

Metric System is an electronic project from the Eighties, the zenith of the music cassette underground.		
Some of the music got distributed by the legendary shop "Scheissladen" in Berlin, its owner is also known as "Der wahre Heino" and a disaffected tape label from Gernsheim/Germany. I think i never got paid from both :-) 
All tracks are available at Bandcamp in full versions and for download:

I am not a professional musician, I write music in different styles exclusively for myself. Every month a new one-two tracks! I will be glad to collaborate with interested performers and producers. 
The constant howling of sirens and the incessant shelling of peaceful cities. People are dying ... Who needs all this?

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.
