Thanks to Wildy's World for Giving "Vinyl" a spin!! Check it out!! Wildy's World's "Vinyl" Review

Guest List Magazine From "GuestlistMagazine"

Rock music has come in many different forms and shapes over the years creating sub-genres of the music from emo to punk to hard rock to metal and so forth and so on. So what exactly is rock music? Some will argue that the 70's classic rock music that fused blues together with shredding guitar riffs and a whole lot of substance is the last time we heard great rock music and for those folks I would like to introduce you to D'Haene. The New York City based band gained attention with their debut album "Brother Man" and since then they have been bringing their brand of 70's influenced alternative rock to anyone that would listen. With their latest effort "Vinyl," they continue along the path they set out on as the great guitar riffs are instantly recognizable as they bring you into album opener "Another Like You." The vocals are reminiscent of countless bands that came through the alternative rock era of the 90's and the combination of eras makes for an interesting and somewhat unique sound. The guitars that initially grab you are present throughout the album as you press forward with tracks like "Wouldn't You Like To Know" and "My Woman." Don't be surprised when the bass lines have you dancing and swaying right along with a majority of this album either. The fusing of influences and variety of rock styles on "Vinyl" combine to give the listener something fun that is familiar to the classic rock sound they know and love but at the same time it is something fresh and new.

DHaene6 With that said, let me introduce to you D’Haene. D’Haene, pronounced d’Hain, was formed on 2003 in NYC and consists of 5 members. Bob D’Haene, for whom the band is named after is the songwriter, vocalist and rhythm and lead guitar player. Backing up Bob on rhythm and lead guitar as well as the lap steel is Riley McMahon. Sammy K handles the percussionist duties while Tim McCracken covers keyboards and backing vocals. Let’s not forget Rick Guetschow on Bass guitar.
D’Haene’s latest release entitle Vinyl is such a great mix of rock and soul. I would almost venture to say that it’s more of a soul sound with a mix of rock at times. Vinyl makes me wish there were more band out there that made music like this. It’s a mixing pot of late 60’s and 70’s soul, jazz and rock but modern enough to make it as relevant as any other album being released.
I’ve had this album in my possession for a couple of weeks now and I started listening late one day but didn’t get through the opening track before getting side-tracked by something else. Today I went to search on my iPod for Derek Jordan and I saw “D’Haene” and something sparked in my mind, so I gave it a spin and it made my day so much better. D’Haene have been added to my list of bands that are slowly restoring my faith in modern rock. Listen for yourself at http://www.dhaeneband.com/, and just click on the “music” tab. D’Haene’s Vinyl will be available in April.

And another Vinyl review!! The positive vibes just keep rollin' in!
Please help us spread the word!

"Vinyl" is D'Haene's latest high energy offering. It's rock music with peaks and valleys in all the right places. We love it when a song keeps us guessing as to what's comming up the next 16 bars. We would pass out from the effort of trying to predict which cords or drum cadences would emerge. This groups talent for arrangement is awesome.

On songs like 'Another Like You' and 'Brand New Threads' the riffs and tempo changes outshine the lyrics just a tad bit. The vocals on 'I'll Be Your Man' and 'This Dog Won't Hurt' are delivered with soulful candor and fit smoothly into the composition of the tracks. This band has a very rich and mature set of skills with a sound that conveys musical inspiration across several genres and time periods. This is rock and roll with some damn meat to it. Everyone should know about them.


"Blogcritics.com"

D'Haene's new disc is spring-loaded with hard-locked rhythms, chunky guitar riffing, and metalized melodies sung with a bluesy, soulful inflection. If, vocally, D'Haene tends to be a touch more convincing on more easy-going fare ("Took Me So Long"), that's because of the soulful quality that defines his vocal style.

One of the CD's best points is the way many of the songs surprise you with unexpected bridges and codas, as in "Wouldn't You Like To Know," or with varied flavors like the Latin opening of "Brand New Threads!" The impeccable musicianship and harmony vocals are also a pleasure throughout. The soul influence becomes explicit with the nodding triplets and organ bed of "I'll Be Your Man," though D'Haene's characteristic guitar buzz remains, maintaining consistency with the disk's overall feel. The same thing happens in the jazzy underpinning of "Playin' It Cool," complete with muted trumpet.

Bookended by the hard-rocking "Another Like You" and "My Woman," this set of solid songs and ace playing is worthy listen.

 I think I used to believe that Harrison Ford was the first person to convey cool to me on screen but I realize it was Roy Scheider.(the big screen...obviously the Fonz fulfilled all the criteria for cool on the the small screen -at least until he put a life preserver on over his leather jacket http://www.jumpedtheshark.com/index.jspa) My Dad was a great guy and did a bang up job considering he had 12 kids...(and it would seem a "screamin' libido"©) But there were times when Roy seemed like he'd make a cool dad...He was an amazing actor that we didn't hear much about since the mid 80's...His ability to convey cool, fear and control all at the same time in "Jaws" is the kind of detail that can lack with our new CGI blockbusters. So, I'm looking forward to some "French Connection", "All That Jazz", "Marathon Man", "Still of the Night". and, of course, "Blue Thunder".

I'm guessing tonight the Fonz's thump will be at half-mast as the world has lost a bit of it's cool....

And though that might be true.....I am, unfortunately, referencing a Nickelback song. And, no, this is NOT a rant on Nickelback (sooo tempting) cause every time I start to spout off about them I think about a car ride to Detroit where my dad lectured me about Benny Goodman...most likely after I played him the opening to "Hot For Teacher"...hoping to bridge the generation gap. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22118093/

No, this is just to share and try to help the aforementioned "Currency Themed" band to use their powers for good and not for BLAND. http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&title=led_zeppelin_live_footage_from_o2_arena__1&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Enjoy!

NEXT UP: Does anyone really know what time it is?.....or where Peter Cetera went?

ungrammatically yours,

A blog from Bob: My Ninja friend recently gave me a shit load of Frank Zappa. And I do mean - a shit LOAD. (It actually just appeard on my I-pod, and I'm still trying to figure out how the Ninja did it!) Now, truth be told, I can only listen to so much, and since I'm a fan of the "shuffle",  I have to forward over a lot. Actually, most of my "I-time" is spent forwarding past a shit load of Zappa AND a shit load of Stones. I love me some RS but how many versions of Pain it Black do I have to hear. And after 150 times - I don't care if "Charlie sounds good tonight", Mick!!  

But the Zappa has been nice to discover (I'm a slow Muscial Magellan). It also brought back a long lost Zappa connection. When I was but a teen - I went to the NAMM show in Chicago. My reason? because the rumor was Eddie would be there hot off the release of 5150. (Sidenote: Eddie was there and I stood right next to him. I was too nervous to ask for an autograph..and his hands are too important to shake willy-nilly) The next rumor was that he'd be performing later that night at an "All-Star Jam". So, my friend and I went and got seats in the balcony. Was a pleasant enough evening...it was an "All-Star Jam" of 80's rock heroes....some more disposable then others.....the best part was the "sort of" cutie sitting in front of us...playful, coy... and though she sported quite the hood ornament.....maybe I'd be getting lucky in Chicago...Since I wasn't getting lucky in Michigan in those days. So, I leaned in to give her some line about how Neal Schon hasn't played the same since "Infinity"...and much to my surprise it's Moon Unit Zappa ("Mom, Dad, this is Moon Unit"). Who in an instant made me feel like Ducky when she squirted me with water. I sat back in my seat and waited for the longhaired guitar player from Night Ranger to finish his shredding. I do thank her for the experience....cause every once in a while (and actually RARELY)..at a bar...drunk...when one of my more learned musical friends would spout off about Zappa in an effort to show off....I could always be heard interjecting..."Moon Unit squirted me with water".....Thanks, Moon...my parents would never have accepted you....

Sorry for the run-ons,

Bob
