Band's Shock Reunion After Near Demise
9 Oct
Summary
- The band reunited after a shambolic 2019 gig nearly ended their career.
- Campbell admitted to crashing the band into a wall with his actions.
- Within two years of forming, they opened for the Rolling Stones.
A blues rock band has surprised fans with a reunion and a new album, signaling a new era after a period of significant turmoil. Campbell, the band's singer, confessed that a disastrous gig in Wales in December 2019 nearly marked the definitive end of the group. He acknowledged that his own conduct at the time led to the band's downfall, stating he had "crashed it into a wall."
The realization that he had "lost everything" hit him when attendees rapidly dispersed after their final performance in 2019. This stark contrast to typical post-gig interactions underscored the band's precarious state. Campbell, a Glasgow-based singer-songwriter, joined forces with seasoned session musicians who had backed major artists.
Their collaboration resulted in a distinctive old-time blues rock and roll sound. Remarkably, within two years of their formation, they released an album and subsequently opened for the Rolling Stones at multiple shows. Campbell fondly recalled their early days, describing their formation as "wonderful" and their initial creative process in guitarist Luke Potashnick's kitchen as highly productive.
