CHEVREUIL

Attivi dal 1998 sono un duo chitarra e batteria, proveninente da Nantes, Francia. Chiaramente influenzati dall'ultimo album degli Storm And Stress, poropongono pezzi strumentali corredati da una chitarra su 4 amplificatori. a differenza principale rispetto alle fonti d'inspirazione sta nello stile più rock'n'roll del batterista che fa sentire in modo marcato la presenza del proprio strumento, ricordando il suono degli Shellac. Le percussioni molto 'fuori', con un suono pieno e pesante, vengono perfettamente abbinate alla chitarra. Per avere un' idea più chiara dello stile degli Chevreul, immaginate un concerto di un gruppo ibrido formato da Shellac e Storm and Stress, con un tocco di Don Cabballero e le potenza degli AC/DC, e magari dei Tool. Dopo il loro primo album "Ghetto Blaster" masterizzato da Fabrice Loreau (Yann Tiersen, Prohibition), hanno realizzato un nuovo album registrato da Steve Albini. La data di uscita dell'album in Francia è stata fissata per Marzo 2003. Moltissimi i responsi positivi già ricevuti da stampa e pubblico. Ascoltando la band dal vivo si ha l'opportunità di notare che le caratteristiche ed il valore del gruppo non vengono affatto penalizzati, e che, anzi, tutte le loro qualità scintillano enfatizzate dal palco. Hanno accompagnato sul palco Us Maple, Laddio Bolocko, Strom & Stress (Touch & Go), Lumen,la Guinguette Pirate, L'Altra, Bobby Conn (Thrill Jockey), King Q4, Ratiopharm, Rogojine, Oxes (Monitor), Gordz, Goddar, Guapo, The Plan, North Of America.

TONY COLEMAN

Tony Coleman has toured around the planet performing with some of the best R&B and blues musicians ever. Tony can attest to playing drums with B.B. King, Otis Clay, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Albert Collins, Etta James, James Cotton, Katie Webster, Z.Z. Hill, O.V. Wright, Buddy Guy, and the list goes on and on.
Tony was born August 12, 1955 in Kissimmee, Florida. He always knew that he wanted to play drums. As a baby, his grandmother would put a transistor radio in his crib to calm him and he would tap out the beat of the music. He was playing drums with various local bands in Florida until he graduated from high school. On December 28,1973 he joined the US Army to get away from his hometown and to explore the world. After 3 years of army life Tony realized it was time to pursue his dream of becoming a world-class drummer. He moved to Chicago in the spring of '77 along with a group of ex-army partners. Tony played mostly in the garage with the group while their dream of becoming the next Earth Wind and Fire seemed far away.

Tony's aspirations were much higher, and he began to play drums with several well-known local bands. The word got out about this new drummer in town and before long he met soul singer Otis Clay. After meeting Otis he joined Otis Clay's Band and toured with him for a couple years, recording a live album in Tokyo, Japan. From touring and recording with Otis Clay came opportunities to work with other major R&B and blues artists.

After a jam session in a Chicago club called The High Chaparral, B.B. King jammed with Otis Clay's rhythm section, including Tony, Russell Jackson and B.B. liked them so much that he asked them to join him as his touring band. So Tony Coleman, Russell Jackson and Leonard Gill became B.B. King's rhythm section. As fate would have it, Tony was only with B.B. for a few months until B.B.'s ex-drummer returned.

Tony Coleman returned to Chicago and rejoined Otis Clay's band for another tour in Japan. From Otis Clay, Tony moved to Dallas, Texas in 1980 to play drums for Johnnie Taylor. Tony toured with Johnnie for a couple of years and was then asked to join Bobby Blue Bland whom he worked with for a few years. In the middle of a B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland tour, B.B. needed a drummer and Tony ended up playing drums for both artists for the remainder of that tour - two shows a night.

Thereafter, Tony rejoined B.B. King and toured with his organization for over 10 years performing blues music around the globe. In 1999, Tony realized the time was right for him to do his own thing.

Tony now tours, records, plays golf and writes songs for various blues artists. In addition he has written jingles for Northwest Airlines and Calloway Golf Company; and is featured in a television commercial for Calloway Golf introducing the Odyssey White Hot Putter. But Tony is most at home when he is behind a drum set playing the blues.

His first CD "Out in the Open," received great revues with guest artists Lucky Peterson, Kenney Neal and Frankie Lee contributing their talents to the album.
His second CD, is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2000 featuring guest artists from Earth Wind and Fire.
