VI.BE

Steeped in the tradition of Leslie West’s Mountain, The Jeff Beck Group and early Led Zeppelin, Blues Karloff play some of the hardest-edged Rock and Blues grooves on the planet.

Blues Karloff serve up a powerful blast of hard rocking Blues; each track road tested and fine-tuned in neighbourhood bars and clubs – most places without a stage, lighting or sound support. If any song failed to connect with the audience of which the majority wasn’t even familiar with these classic Chicago Blues tracks reinterpreted by the band in their own distinctive fashion, then the song was soon dropped from the repertoire. The result is nothing less than a scorching and hellacious hard rocking Blues extravaganza!

Blues Karloff salutes some of the Blues legends that every member of Blues Karloff has been listening to since childhood. Their debut album “Ready For Judgement Day” features songs by Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Albert King, Howlin’ Wolf, and Muddy Waters; vintage Blues gems revisited, like the British Blues-Rock greats such the Rolling Stones, Savoy Brown, Free, and Eric Clapton with the Yardbirds did back in the sixties and seventies. Blues Karloff is all about these musical influences; Black and White, British and American, that shaped the musical tastes of the individual band members in their youth.

Blues Karloff are currently recording “Light And Shade,” their second album, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut “Ready For Judgement Day” which was released October 2015.
