They also have some ' mod rock' influence in their sound, this can be especially seen and heard at live concerts and you can hear it in the aggressiveness of their sound. Their goal is to rock the crowd hard with heavy beats, low bumping bass, screaming Hammond organ and tight guitar riffs, sometimes accompanied by vocals or chants.
These bands will always be the best because it's the sound they've created. What you get is an explosive performance with tight grooves and the heaviest live beats you ever heard we like to call it the "shock 'n' awe" style or garage funk. A large part of their recordings is instrumental. At live shows though, more vocal tracks are added. These tracks are sung by guitar player Onno Smit; before starting the band together with Alviz also a soul singer. That is because Hutspot is not so much the first 'real' album of Lefties Soul Collection but a collection of singles that the band has released over the last three years.
Since all of those singles have been limited vinyl only releases, the music will still be new to most listeners outside of the elusive soul or funk 45 fraternity. As much as we like our homemade 'raers' we also believe that the music of the Amsterdam-based Lefties Soul Connection appeals to a wider audience than those die-hard fans who hunt their vinyl in thrift stores and online-shops around the globe.
Nothing proofs this better than the ever growing number of concert goers who catch the Lefties bug at one of their live shows. In alone they have played everywhere from the Jazz Cafe in London to the 'Supernatural' festival in Utrecht and numerous clubs from Berlin to Marseille. Wherever they play, their raw and heavy sound never fails to set the place on fire. The Lefties need no gimmick, no flash. Amsterdam may not be known for gritty funk and soul but the diversity, drive and spirit of this great city is in many ways reflected in their music.
Even though the Lefties' sound is rooted in the classic funk of bands like the Meters, they are not trapped in the past. Lefties Soul Connection are a band of today creating songs for the year and beyond. Cody's deadly drum-breaks and Bram's bass lines keep dancers and hip-hop producers equally happy. The raw energy of their music all recorded on an analog 4 track tape machine at their rehearshal studio follows no rules and you will never catch them on stage pretending it is again.
The Lefties believe that you have to create your own brand of funk in order to keep the music alive. So when they started recording they didn't do any cover versions. A decision that proved them right from start. Their first single, the self-penned Doin' The Thing was an immediate success and has been called a new funk classic by many.
This is what the first album of Lefties Soul Connection is made of. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. MPM Press Release 1.
