Band MembersFormed in June of 2001 the line up has undergone some changes and now comprises of: · Keith Howe (Guitar & Vocals), · Clive Edmondson (Percussion and Vocals) and · Paul Arnott (Bass Guitar and Vocals).
InfluencesFar too many to mention but including: Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix, Pat Travers, Rory Gallagher, Paul Kossof and Jeff Healey, Walter Trout (a favourite Guitarist and a great spiritual influence),David Grissom, Gary Moore, Freddy King, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Mike Bloomfield,John Mayer, Phil Brown, Peter Haycock, Roger Glover (Deep Purple); John Entwhistle (The Who); Nathan East (Phil Collins/Eric Clapton); Richard Lymn (Aynsey Lister band); Jimmy Trapp (Walter Trout band), Billy Cobham However the list is virtually endless as long as the instrument is played with passion.
Sounds LikeFormed in June of 2001 the line up has undergone some changes and now comprises of: · Keith Howe (Guitar & Vocals), · Clive Edmondson (Percussion and Vocals) and · Paul Arnott (Bass Guitar and Vocals). The Band have power housed their way through hundreds of gigs both within the UK and abroad showcasing their own brand of renegade style and Weaposm Grade Blues/Rock. 2004 saw the Band opene up for legendary Blues Rocker Walter Trout during his 2004 and 2005 UK tours (also receiving the honour to jam with Walter onstage at later concerts) as well as opening spots for the fantastic Joe Bonamassa,Carvin Jones,Wilko Johnson,Larry Miller and The Hamsters to name but a few. 2005 saw the Band release their first self penned CD Turning Up featuring 13 original tracks, which attracted a lot of interest, review and substantial internet airplay in many countries including the UK, USA, Macedonia and Australia. At Ian Gillians request they opened the show for the mighty Deep Purple, Peter Frampton and Thunder during the UK leg of their Bananas World Tour and gained the headline spot for the 2005 Salcombe Festival as well as appearing on the main stage of the 2005 Ramsbottom Blues Festival alongside Aynsley Lister. Spring 2007 saw the release of the Band’s new Live C.D. "In Transit" featuring 11 tracks recorded at the Bands various UK concerts of late 2005 and early 2006. 2008 saw the Band continue to grow in popularity with their own gigs such as Rock at The Racecourse, being supplemented by more opening spots with Walter Trout, Poppa Chubby, The Hamseters and Larry Miller, however June 2008 also saw the Band "off the road" for over 12 months until Keith made sufficient recovery from his suprised diagnosis of Leukaemia including some amputation and extensive Chemotherapy treatment. With this enforced lay off behind them 2009 began with some local warm up gigs followed by Headline spots The 2009 Newt Beef Festival and Friday Night's Rotary Rocks Stage for The Cambridge Rock Festival. Meanwhile the Band have been finishing off the recording of their new Studio CD "Suckin Out Venom" featuring 10 new original tracks and with a scheduled release date of November 2009. Negotiations are already underway for CD promotional gigs from 2010 onwards.

Devils Creek - Rocking The Blues

We've just added four new tracks to myspace completed recently, with Phil Innes at the controls. These are the first recordings to feature Alan Ibbotson on drums, and we are all really happy with the results. It's a shame that we've not been able to get back into the studio before this but we've been able to build up new material in the meantime.

The timing was perfect as we all went down with Swine Flu after the session, with Guy just able to complete the last vocals before admitting defeat!.

"Judgement Day" is a totally retro song with a very 70's (complete with cowbell) Bad Company-Free - AC/DC vibe with a storming solo from Guy at the end.

"I Know" - Very fast with a great hook - very unlike anything we've done before, a sort of punk/blues take on things - great vocal and lyrics. The opening section is from a German radio broadcast being picked up from Guy's heavily overdriven Peavey 5150 valve amp - can anyone translate? :)

"Chains" takes us back to our blues roots, with Guy sounding rather like John Lee Hooker in the opening section, before the song hurtles into a very Led Zeppelin style meltdown, complete with some suitably wailing guitar.

"Salvation" is a slowie with added Hammond! - some nice guitar licks too! - almost prog rock at the opening section (reminds me of Andy Latimer and Camel), before building around a very moody bluesy set of chord changes into some very epic choruses. Phil added the keyboard parts - and we got a bit carried away - sounded almost like "Highway Star" for a while - But Phil very diplomatically as ever got us back on track. We argued for weeks about this song prior to the recording - as to whether or not it made the grade - I'm glad we kept it!
