FANZEYEVIEW
Tim Aves & Wolfpack
A POTENT new band, formed by award-winning former Rockin' Armadillos frontman, writer and broadcaster TIM AVES, with erstwhile Armadillos bandmates,ROB BARRY (bass) and PAUL LESTER (drums) and the hottest young guitar talent on the British blues scene today, JOEL FISK, whose main gig is with Cool Buzz Records artistes HOKIE JOINT.
As the name suggests, the tough, scary blues of Howlin' Wolf (Tim's all-time favourite bluesman and number one inspiration) is central to the band's repertoire, though it touches all points in between Wolf and a range or artistes including Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, The Red Devils, ZZ Top and the ARC Angels... The lineup made its live debut in opening for UK blues guitar genius Matt Schofield (who that night, invited Tim to blow harp on stage with his band) and first appeared at WOLFPACK in January 2010. New year; new band... and the reputation is already growing, with live videos now available on YouTube and the diary filling up with dates... The band is currently looking for gigs.... for bookings, contact Tim Aves via this page, or Facebook. |
