Description

HIPBONE SLIM & THE KNEETREMBLERS is a band that plays proper rocknroll! They take all the influences of original rocknroll, rhythmnblues, whatever you want to call it, and give it their own unique stamp and energy, with a garage band attitude and enthusiasm. They have somehow captured the true essence of rocknroll in a way that very few have been able to do in a very long time. The band is led by the ubiquitous Sir Bald Diddley (aka Hipbone Slim), on guitar and lead vocals, a man who has been described as Britains string king in reference to his wild and fiery guitar style, influenced by Bo Diddley, Link Wray, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale and the like. Hes also been described as Ricky Nelson gone very wrong (with regards to his singing!) which he, and we too, are happy to take as a compliment. Also known for his very precarious stage antics, including the infamous Pea Bug, which involves much rolling around on the floor during guitar solos! Also a part of this rocknroll trio is Bruce Bash Brand, one of Britains, if not the worlds, finest rocknroll drummers. A veteran of such bands as the Milkshakes and Headcoats (as sidekick and comedic foil to Billy Childish), as well as Holly Golightlys band, the Masonics, and more, he has also worked with the Pretty Things, Downliners Sect, Wreckless Eric, Mungo Jerry and made two albums with Link Wray along the way. Then theres Gastus Receedus (bass/harmonica), who has played in many a band (Big Wigs, Arousers, Playboys, etc) and worked with many a rocknroll legend Billy Lee Riley, Sonny Burgess, Dale Hawkins, and Don & Dewey to name but a few! Hipbone Slim & The Kneetremblers have become something of a cult sensation thanks to their previous four albums of accomplished rocknroll fundamentalism and regular appearances on Mark Lamarrs radio shows over the years. (Their collaboration with Mama Rosin received rave reviews in both The Guardian and The Independent.) Harsh critics may single out their unwillingness to deviate from the primitive rhythmnblues blueprint as their downfall, but this would be a failure to understand the objective of the group. To put it simply, as already stated, Hipbone Slim & the Kneetremblers play rocknroll music. And they do it better than pretty much anyone else in the UK right now, if not the entire damn world.
