Life Is So Simple

Five piece rock/funky/bluesy groove band playing original material and some covers. Line up: keyboard & vocal, guitar, bass, drums and percussion.

Rob Powell: keyboard/vocal
Matt Thorpe: lead guitar

Dave and Brian were with The Cohen Brothers who after touring extensively for a number of years disbanded earlier in 2013. Matt and Dave had played together approx. 30 years previously as founder members of Lautrec and also prior to that in Birmingham's very own Raw Deal! 
These three members then recruited Rob Powell formerly of Vermillion Skies and the line up is now more or less complete. The band is an alchemy of styles fusing together Rob's sensitive song writing and Matt's instrumental illness!
