Nightlosers back to Toronto Jan 7
« on: Wednesday 02 December 2009, 20:45:47 »
On their way to Webster Hall in New York City, where they will close the prestigious globalFest (one of the premier world music festivals), Nightlosers return to Toronto on Thursday, January 7 for a one-night-only gig at the legendary Lee’s Palace.  Last year’s sold-out performances at the Silver Dollar created such a buzz that we expect the 'joint will be jumping'. Nightlosers are touring as an 8-piece ensemble, complete with leaf and cimbalom.

TRANSYLVANIA'S MOST UNUSUAL MUSICAL EXPORT

When on summer holiday in Transylvania, while you might expect the occasional brush with the local folk music in one form or another, you certainly don't expect to discover a band playing the most bizarre combination of blues, R&B and eastern European gypsy music that you've ever encountered in all your days as a music critic. But that's what happened to me. It had all started so innocently, but then I guess Bram Stoker had thought that too, and look what happened to him...

The first track played that evening was Jimmy Reed's Shame Shame Shame: it started fine, with solo bottleneck guitar worthy of Muddy Waters, but when the band came in there was a country fiddler playing jig patterns, a banjo plunking away and the bass and drums playing a country-mile two-step. Wild! And that was before the vocalist started (he had a troupe of backing female vocalists a la Bryan Ferry intoning "Shame on You" for a start). By the time the violin solo began I was anticipating more weirdness, but was then knocked off guard again by the accompaniment of a bunch of thigh-slappers doing a Transylvanian Morris Dance along with the band's electric guitars. The blues playing was superb, the singing completely authentic: these guys knew what they were doing...." -THE INDEPENDENT, London UK

 

"The blues are alive and well . . . in Transylvania."  -TORONTO STAR

 

"If you've ever had the feeling that there's not much left to be added to the blues vocabulary, you haven't heard Transylvanian blues. Romania's Nightlosers don't hesitate to spice up your 12 bars with Eastern European folk music, gypsy swing and Celtic reels. And you really have to hear what a violin and a rhythm change can do for Six Days on the Road and Blue Suede Shoes." -MONTREAL GAZETTE

 

Nightlosers line-up:

Hanno Hoefer: vocals, guitar, harmonica, washboard
Jimi "El" Lako: guitar, violin
Grunzo Geza: keyboards
Octavian "Barila" Andreescu: bass guitar

Claudiu Purcarin: drums
Nucu Pandrea: leafs and ceramic birdflutes

Aladar Pusztai: cimbalom
Zsuzsanna Torok-Csingo: backing vocals
