Staines Rocks- copyright Adpontes-staines.com

SWEET MELINDA

Based around fairly straightforward guitar playing, often influenced by the style of 1970s British and American rock, Sweet Melinda’s songs are often “life-affirming” with a sense of humour. Folksy chords and eastern-flavoured guitar riffs invoke a memory of Kinks circa 1965. The band cites Lee Perry as a major influence: Perry was one of the producers whose mixing board experiments lead to the ‘dub’ sound. The ‘dub’ infusion is clear in Sweet Melinda’s percussive style that is reminiscent of Traffic with bold low-pitched bass guitar drawing attention to the shape and depth of the space between sounds as well as to the sounds themselves.

The band say they got their name from a Bob Dylan song* [Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues- 1965] that goes:

sweet melinda- Goddess of Gloom
and, like Dylan, they aspire to write true stories partly autobiographical and partly observational.

Kris Hutton (Guitar/ Vocals) - Adam Jervis (Guitar/ Vocals) - Matt Altria (Bass Guitar) - Brad Glennon ( Drums) are local lads but have already gathered a reasonable following around Greater London and have enjoyed playing at important venues such as- The Peel (Kingston), The Half-Moon (Putney) and The Bull and Gate (Kentish Town) as well as Guilfest.

Their sounds are less jangly than most indie pop bands- more introverted and more moody (as you would expect from Dylan adherents) but they still demonstrate a significant punk rock influence ( think ‘The Ramones’) with catchy pop melodies in their songs and a swagger almost Buzzcocks in style and attitude.

Their recent gig at The Hob (Staines) was polished, professional and (almost) intellectual. The tiny crowd (well, it was a Sunday night and the World Cup rugby was on) included young and old, men and women. The band shows lots of class and a generous and heartfelt desire to ‘tell it like it is’.

They may even leave you howling at the moon...

Sweet Melinda Live

* They may have equally have been inspired by ...

“ Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin’ on empty
Most all of my life”

John Denver- Sweet Melinda

Or:-


“Sweet Melinda
You turn my heart to a cinder
The way you do them things that you do”

Sweet Melinda- Bruce Springsteen

WHO ARE SUZERAIN?

Suzerain

Suzerain are:

    Tom Pether Vox
    Richard Summers Guitar
    Mike Smith Bass
    Matt Constantine Keys/Cello
    Ben Howe Drums/percussion

Formed in Early 05 through a shared love of pop, rock, electro and sheer melody that brought them notoriety with all who saw their earliest of gigs.

The Suzerain Sound is a result of many different influences (My Chemical Romance, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, The Cure,) drawing on the music, art, ideas and principle of all that has come before and setting new standards for the future. The shimmer of glam, the pulse of dance, the longing and ache of the great composers, the urgency and relentlessness of punk and the pristine satisfaction of finely crafted pop… no musical or artistic rock is left unturned.

Suzerain set their standards very high. They demand that their music is at once instantly infectious and accessible, but that also demands closer inspection, and ultimately your complete devotion.

Suzerain- indy Award Winners

As a live band Suzerain are hard to beat. Having blasted through the majority of the London circuit Suzerain have earned themselves a fearsome live reputation, and are a band to be noted. Their incendiary performances at London’s top venues and a heart stopping set at the O2 Wireless festival in 06 are a testament to these high standards and lofty ambitions.

More than anything Suzerain give their all to everything they do. The gigs incite their fans to dance and chant their name long after they have left the stage, the music leaves no-one in any doubt they about their skill, passion and ability to write amazing tunes. Everybody’s foot taps and all heads turn.
