Press Release:
Cape Town Funk-Hopsters Bed on Bricks are back with their long-awaited second album 'If you see Kay'. The album was produced by San Fransisco-based ex-pat Patrick Bowsher, recorded at Paris Studios in Fish Hoek, mixed respectively by Dave Langemann at Creative Native Productions in Cape Town and Bowsher at the Film Arts Foundation in San Francisco, and mastered by Tim Lengfeld in Stellenbosch.
This album quite simply rocks! In an era where South African rock is chronically lacking originality it serves as an example of true local style. The band consists of veteran rockers Mike Hardy on vocals and saxophone, guitarist Dave van der Linden, bassist Schalk van der Merwe, and drummer Tim Rankin. The band’s sound is chunky, funky, smooth and rough, with a lot of hop and lyrics free from clichéd, teenage angst ridden, American accented lamentations. Oh, and its tight, VERY tight! Quite simply put; the Bricks are a talented, hot and happening bunch. With plans to tour SA extensively, as well as looking at opportunities overseas, it won’t be long before you can go out and experience a band that not only sounds good on CD, but delivers one of the hottest live shows in the country at the moment. With 'If you see Kay' the band has gone further down the path that they started on with their critically acclaimed debut album 'Humanarium'. The album is more rounded, the production bigger, and the songs diverse, strong and very funky. This is a mature album from a band that would rather look around them for inspiration than borrow from abroad.
Recorded at Paris Studios, Fish Hoek
