Yeah yeah yeah, we have finally made it to have a fine soul rock’n’roll band among our Faves Raves. Amazing!
But of course we wouldn’t feature just any soul band. We are talking about a VERY fine one here: THE ATTENTION! from Vienna.
The Vienna’s hipsters know “how to” really well.
They “how to”:
- rhythm & blues,
- twist & shout
- shizm & rizm
- dress to impress
- shake & stirr
and of course many other things that are only up to you to discover and fall in love with.
For me the actual lovely thing about The Attention! is the fact that they were not always the shimmynizing band they are now.
Before jumping into their fancy attires, they were smashing the guitars and rocking it true in the infamous band KING TIGER. After Bomba, the bassist left King Tiger to focus on the rock’n’roll band Low Down High, the others decided it was the right moment to turn things upside down.
The rough guitars were exchanged by twistful blues, the loud drums with
shouting beats and the straight 70’s rock sounds with perfect
soul melodies. And of course, the long hairs were cut, the beards
shaved and the tight bootcut jeans exchanged with tailor-cut hipsters.
From that moment on The Attention! dedicated themselves to their newly discovered love for the fine soul music.
And they are dong it damn right!
They are now in great company with The (Incredible) Staggers from Graz which they will accompany on their next visit in the UK in January.
The Attention! are ready to roll over your town and will make you celebrate, whether you put on your dancing shoes or not!
Live: St.Pölten, Freiraum (with The Danes) November 29th
