When the legendary POGUES had been deserted by everything but their reputation as the inventors of Irish speed folk, guitarist JAMIE CLARKE decided that life with the heroes of Irish trash was a dead end. He upped and left but far from vanishing into obscurity, he formed a new band and hasn`t looked back since. Look out for JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT`s CD filed near POGUES and if you liked the POGUES, you`ll like JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT!
Product Description
JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT have taken the idea of speed folk a stage further. While their music unmistakably hails fromfrom the Pogues stable, their songs are more than mere hymns to whiskey fuelled life in the fast lane. PERFECT`s touches of real pop appeal definitely don`t stint on that foot tapping, blood firing style that was the POGUES at their best. But enough of the POGUES right now, PERFECT is the only thing on Jamie Clarke`s mind. He needs few words to describe the POGUES` split: ?After the last tour, the steam went out of the whole thing.? Now the stress is over, Jamie doesn`t rule out the possibility of a reunion tour, but emphasises that his clear priorities lie with JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT. When the likeable Englishman founded the trio right back in 1996, the characteristic PERFECT sound developed almost at once. A gleefully swashbuckling gumbo of rock, Irish folk and polkas, given a spicy sparkle with a spoonful of Balkan influence. JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT is the ideal backdrop for ist members to strut their impressively divers musical stuff. Hear Eastern Europe calling, in Predrag Zaric`s south easteurope origins and classical accordition training. Andreas ?Andy? Schabinger, the band`s new drummer fresh from an engagement with the musical ?Hair? and a jazz head by preference, expertly weaves the strands of musical roots into a dynamic tapestry, capturing the audience`s attention by playing a stand drum. JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT dishes up eminently danceable music that will fill the floor and even persuade non dancers to shake a leg. POGUES fans too can look forward to a treat an evening with JAMIE CLARKE`s PERFECT includes a riotous medley of Pogues hits. What starts off as an concert ends up as a wild melee of dancers.
