   About The Peas
West London's premier psych-funkers THE PEAS is a band based around guitar-player/Hammond organ sessionman extraordinaire, Brother Lee. A long-time love of Memphis guitar and New Orleans beats inspired him to break out from his dayjob selling vintage guitars (and night-time session work) to write and record some of his own tunes for a change. After getting a secondhand portastudio from The Young Disciples' Marco Nelson, and a crappy Radio Shack microphone, THE PEAS went to work down in the basement, cooking up a heady funk-soul stew that brought to mind the tough guitar/organ workouts of The Meters and Booker T & The MGs, as well as the looser sounds of Lee Dorsey or Creedence Clearwater Revival, even some Studio One in there too. Throw in a pinch of psychedelia, courtesy of Lee's penchant for the electric sitar and love of Nuggets-era freakouts, and THE PEAS was tastin' mighty fine!! Sure enough, the debut 45 on Malo Records, "Gettin' Some", held nothing back - a battering ram intro followed by a tight-ass New Orleans groove, glued together with juicy Hammond organ and flame-grilled electric sitar! It wowed funk fanatics and B-boys everywhere, and quickly sold out thanks to some heavy airplay from the likes of James Addyman, Craig Charles, Norman Jay etc. Some legendarily messy DJ sets helped spread the gospel and Lee was snapped up for live sets all over the place! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Right now THE PEAS is bunkered down in their all-new, top-secret Isle Of Wight hideaway, slaving away over a hot 8-track tape machine demoing and mixing some killer tunes for the new 45 and LP. Mixing the familiar Meters and Southern Soul influences but with some tougher Shuggie Otis and Traffic-style guitar workouts, the new stuff is heavier, some truly dope shit for your stereos! Tunes like "Loose Shoes", "Flying High", "Diamond Soul", "Hot Bananas" and "Let It Pea" are in the can, with a fiery cover of the lost Delakota classic "The Fox" in there too! The first 45 for Taco Records will be with you soon, don't miss it brothers and sisters! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
