Kings X meets the Foo Fighters, with a little Incubus gravy on top!
Main stays Jim Noble (guitar/vocals) Sy Morton (bass/vocals) continue with their vision of a band that defies genre and relies on good song writing, good vocals and good musicianship to carry them through.
The original three piece honed their sound with hours of practise, adding the unique (at the time) element of live percussion to their line up in the shape of Colin Lovatt.
Drummers come and drummers go, and thats exactly what happened in 2003. Out went founder member Chris Jones in came Mik Gaffney.
Mik immediately put his stamp on the bands sound (in fact one of their first song writing sessions yielded fans favourite Broken!).
The new four-piece continued to develop their sound until Colin decided to quit the band to continue his life Down Under.
So Tortilla Army reverted to a trio format, something all three members were comfortable with, and it wasnt until during a string of dates with U.S. act Moth (where they acquired the use of Moths touring guitarist for an evening) did the band feel that a little extra depth was needed.
A second guitarist was added in shape of Joe Coomes, the band finally had the perfect line up. Never before did Tortilla Army have such a full sound and the right balance of the right people.
Tortilla Army has come a very long way from the initial steps in the backroom of the East Kent (spiritual home) to where they are now, and things continue to move forward, with a fourth album in the works, an ever increasing presence on My Space, dates with U.S. bands Moth & Fizzgig and upcoming tours in 2006 being put together as we speak.
The Army keeps marching on
Wahey! Of course not mate. I went to see Monster Magent on tuesday, and Dave Wyndorf's vast!! and to quote Ricky Gervais talking about Boy George "he's piled it on since he gave up the smack hasn't he?!" Maybe get cory Wilson to advise with his extensive knowledge. After all he did write the lyrics for the Mothers Ruin classic.."Smacked". Perhaps we could re-mix it under the title "Arse biscuits". Looking forward to LOTF loads mate!!
Hi Due to work stresses my life has been bereft of live music for 6 months, but tonight I've just got back from Archers gig and feel so much more like a human being than I have for months. Thank you. It was also a good warm up for my trip to Wembley for Foo Fighters next week. keep rockin' Mel
