Sounds Like
If ABBA and the Rolling Stones had a baby, put it up for adoption, was taken in by Bob Dylan, left home at 16 and hit the road with Gene Vincent, had a lost weekend with The Dave Clark Five, married Lucinda Williams, got divorced and married Ann Margret - the Viva Las Vegas, Ann Margret - that's what we sound like. Except when we sound like something else, which is quite often.

THE FORBIDDEN LIST OF SONGS - And what it will co$t you
(view more)
Since their current lineup of Tom Ryan (drums), Rich Umbach (lead guitar), Steve Prisco (guitars), and Mick Hargreaves (bass) gelled in early 2006, THE BLAGGARDS are pleased to have an ever-growing circle of supporters on the Long Island/NY bar-band scene, appearing in venues large and small.
Shunning the worn-out formula of endless classic rock tune retreads and bland interpretations of "the hits", they are instead known best for interpreting the songwriting talents of artists such as Alejandro Escovedo, Lucinda Williams, Rockpile, Ry Cooder, Buddy Miller, Son Volt, Long Ryders, Slaid Cleaves, Drifters, Vulgar Boatmen, Waco Brothers, Bottle Rockets, Johnny Horton, Bob Dylan, T-Bone Burnette, Jayhawks, Beat Farmers, Dwight Yoakum, Robbie Fulks, Patty Smith, Old 97's, Los Lobos, Neil Young, The La's, John Hiatt, Springsteen, Sam Cooke, Chris Stamey, Duane Jarvis, NRBQ, and Delbert McClinton.
Their self-produced recording of Ray Davies' "Last of the Steam Powered Trains" on the upcoming Paradiddle Records release "Kinks Unkovered" bodes well for future projects, perhaps even belying some original material efforts on the horizon.
