E lá se foram as férias! Muito sol, muito rock, muito... tudo... foi bom, mas acabou... por agora...

Neste mês em que fazemos 1 aninho de existência, vamos iníciar as festividades em grande com uma festa de promoção ao Festival Barreiro Rocks (http://www.barreirorocks.com).
Esta festa decorrerá no próximo dia 23 de Setembro no Whisky Bar em Prado - 22h. Para animar todos os presentes vamos ter a companhia dos BIG RIVER JOHNSON.
Esta excelente banda de Rockabilly/Blues vem directamente do Barreiro para promover o já mítico festival de Rock n' Roll e afins.
Para dar uma pequena ideia do que podem esperar aqui fica um texto bastante elucidativo...

Straight from the muddy waters of the Mississipi river

"When African and European music first began to merge to create what eventually became the blues, the slaves sang songs filled with words telling of their extreme suffering and privation. The Southern prisons also contributed considerably to the blues tradition through work songs and the songs of death row and murder, prostitutes, the warden, the hot sun, and a hundred other privations.During the decades of the thirties and forties, the blues spread northward with the migration of many blacks from the South and entered into the repertoire of big-band jazz. The blues also became electrified with the introduction of the amplified guitar. In some Northern cities like Chicago and Detroit, during the later forties and early fifties, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James among others, played what was basically Mississippi Delta blues, backed by bass, drums, piano and occasionally harmonica.
