WOODEN SHJIPS
Bien, no creo que les este descubriendo nada, me pondria a hablar de San Francisco, la psicodelia , los 60-70`s, el garage , de los Black Angels , Syd Barret, suena raro verdad?
.Es que a esta banda la conoci en 2007 con un compilado de psicodelia editado por Mojo en tributo a Syd Barret llamado In Search of Syd , con el tema SOL 07.
Nacido en la idea basica del Rock And Roll tocado por no-musicos gestada en la mente de Ripley Johnson, su guitarrista , tomando como nombre el titulo de un tema de jefferson Airplane sumandole una J en un guiño a la psicodelia sueca, con la guitarra y la increible voz de Ripley infiltrandose en el en el remolino de la batería-bajo-teclado a cargo de Omar Ahsanuddin, Dusty Jermier y Nash Whalen , van a leer de ellos psicodelia , droner, krautrock, garage, los comparan con los Doors, Can, Grateful Dead, 13th Floor Elevator, increible no haber encontrado una camparacion con Amon Dull. Simplemente es asi como me gusta que suene el rock, y comparto su discografia porque me parece que todos los discos son igual de grandes, y necesitan escuchar los cinco. Otro gustito que me permite el administar este blog, gracias , disfrutenlos, saludos…
