In early 2010, the sonic whirlwind known as The Excitements emerged in
Barcelona, Spain, delivering its Rhythm ænÆ Blues and Soul cocktail, old school
style, and astounding audiences over their country and, shortly after, Europe.
Since then, the band founded by Adriα Gual (rhythm guitar) and Daniel Segura
(bass) has brought their powerful set to a huge number of macro-festivals such
as Coleur CafΘ (Belgium) and Les nuits Secretes (France), jazz festivals such as
San SebastianÆs Jazzaldia (Spain), Nancy, Lille (France) or Liege (Belgium), and
a wide amount of specialized festivals, such as Funtastic Dracula Carnival,
Purple Weekend or Beat Goes On (Spain), while also heavily working the club
circuits over the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and the UK, among
others.
The band is strongly influenced by the best afroamerican music from the past
century, bypassing the modern soul-funk trends and focusing on old school soul
sounds. It is formed by the explosive lead vocals of Koko-Jean Davis; the
scorching 6 strings of Albert Greenlight on lead guitar and Adriα Gual on rhythm
guitar; the thundering rhythm section driven by Marcial Garcφa (drums) and
Daniel Segura (bass); and last but not least, the soulful sounds of Nico
Rodrφguez Jauregui on baritone sax and Marc Lloret on alto sax. Its rhythm
section builds an ultra-tight bedrock, perfectly complemented by its saxophones,
following the early sixties tradition. The band brings an energetic show
comprising the most furious and authentic R&B floor fillers and one or two
spine-chilling ballads, wraped in a show delivered without mercy, which invites
the crowd to one of the best parties you can find.
Etta James, Ike and Tina Turner, early James Brown or Sugar Pie de Santo are
some of the names thatÆll give you a hint about The ExcitementsÆ sound, always
loyal to the US R&B and Soul tradition.
You can check it all by yourself grabbing a copy of their first LP and any of
their several 45s. All of them are released by BarcelonaÆs label Penniman
Records, which has one of the most important R&B and old school Soul family of
labels of the planet.
