Soul Movers : "Old School Soul with a Modern Punch"
Inspired by artists such as Etta James and Julie London, Lizzie sang a sultry Jazz set around the traps in Sydney, enthralling fans with her riveting stage presence and seductive voice. In 2007 she teamed up with Deniz Tek to pursue a lifelong love of Soul music. Together, they formed the Soul Movers ... playing a unique blend of late 60's Memphis R&B and rocking Beat music.
Deniz's hard rocking background with Radio Birdman is well known. His long parallel solo career extends across dozens of albums and tours from hard rock (Deniz Tek Group) to old school punk (Last of the Bad Men) and way out to experimental noise (Glass Insects). He has toured with the MC5, and has worked extensively with the Asheton brothers from the Stooges. In recent years he has also shared the stage with Scott Morgan, soul shouter from Detroit's Rationals. Together they performed numbers like Otis Redding's "Respect" and Johnnie Taylor's "Hijackin' Love" to crazed audiences across the USA and in Europe with the "Three Assassins".
The Soul Movers first single, out now on picture sleeve 7 inch vinyl (Munster Records), features a respectful yet playful full-power cover of Aretha Franklin’s ‘Baby I Love You' and the original soul-deep ballad ‘Piece O Me’. Further recording sessions shook the walls at Hothouse Studios, Melbourne, in Feb 09, and resulted in an album: 'On The IN Side', pending release 1/9/09 (Cool Time Records). The Memphis-style rhythm section featured Craig Harnath, veteran producer and bass player; and drummer Brett Wolfenden, whose powerhouse playing and attitude more than did justice to the sound of his 60's vintage Ludwig kit. The finishing touches were applied by Radio Birdman veteran Pip Hoyle on keyboards and Sydney scene jazz veteran Frank Bennett on tenor saxophone.
