Anthony Gomes - Electric Field Holler

[Dark]

The first track, Turn It Up, from Anthony Gomes latest album is worth a listen. It's a got a great groove going on and a nice riff working through the chorus.

 

 

Unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't really live up to that first track.

Sounds kind of okay... kind of. Wouldn't pursue it. So who is this guy? Someone we should know?

He's released 12 albums. All in a range of blues rock styles.

The track above is the only one that stood out in any way to me and i'd not heard of him before until a mate, who is a big blues fan, lent me a load of his CD's to try. So no he's not someone anyone on here should know.

Just throwing it out there in case...

[Geoff]

Haha, fair enough. I don't think he's my cup of tea.

[Dark]

He's not really mine either but my mate knows i love rock and bless him he thinks this might slip in to my taste somehow.

I love how many times foreigners introduce me to artists from my own damn country. Never heard of this guy.

[Dark]

To be fair it's a big ass country

With nobody in it. Only 32 million.

Be grateful for that. I'll give you half of the people in Australia if you want them. 75% if you're really keen.

On the positive side, our country is so big that we could take the entire population of Australia and it would be a drop in the proverbial bucket....lol

The problem is, 99% (or a number similar to that) of people in Australia all live in Sydney. It'd be nice if measures could be taken to sensibly spread out the population a bit more, considering there is so much land for it to happen.
